The Best Song of The Summer category was decided by the people, with votes measured by social media outlets. One Direction took home the prize with just under nine million votes via Twitter, Instagram and Vine. The next closest competition was Miley Cyrus‘s “We Can’t Stop” which had just over four million. Daft Punk‘s “Get Lucky” was nominated, but garnered just over forty thousand votes, yet still beat “Blurred Lines“. Keeping all this in mind, remember the vast differences in social media visibility between One Direction and Daft Punk. Better luck next time, guys. Maybe at Insomniac‘s 2014 awards show?
um just because a little kid can vote online doesn’t mean they beat them, daft punk is much more talented.
They got robbed.
Yes they did Al Torna. The edm scene needs a little more notice on how we can participate in voting for these awards so we don’t see our favorites being let down.

how can it be song of the summer? ive only heard it about 2 or 3 times on the radio where get lucky was so unavoidable everywhere I went?
Most people with any musical sense don’t watch these crap ass award shows on a channel that has nothing to do with music anymore…That’s why Daft punk didn’t win.
Hello I just put this new edm song as a free download, hope you enjoy:

one direction won the award because 97% of the votes were from little girls. If the age were to be 18+, daft punk would have won.. no doubt! 100%!
