Irish album of the year: Who are favourites to take the top prize on Thursday?
Favourites for the RTÉ Choice Music Prize album of the year include: Pillow Queens, Denise Chaila, Fontaines DC and Róisín Murphy.
Just like everything else in the past year, the RTÉ Choice Music Prize to crown the best Irish album of 2020 will look a little different this time around. There’s no live show at Vicar Street - instead the winner will be announced on Thursday, March 4, on the Tracy Clifford Show on 2fm. The shortlist itself also looks different this year, comprising eight debut albums, a majority of female acts for the first time, and all independent releases. So who are the nominees and who do we think is going to claim the €10,000 prize fund?
