Back in the middle of last month, the team at Channel [V] was slowly but surely counting down the top 50 Oz Artists for 2011, as voted by you.
As we mentioned at the time, there was plenty of pop to keep the purists happy within the 50 selected, from Zoe Badwi, Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy and Havana Brown to Stan Walker, Sneaky Sound System, Miami Horror, Kimbra, The Potbelleez and last year’s winner Short Stack.
But that top 50 has now been whittled away to just ten. And the top ten artists vying for the ultimate honour in 2011 are (in alphabetical order;
• 360
• Amy Meredith
• John Butler Trio
• Gotye
• The Jezabels
• New Empire
• Owl Eyes
• Parkway Drive
• Guy Sebastian
• Short Stack
Could it be two in a row for the boys from Budgewoi? Could the so-hot-right-now Gotye run away with the prize following on from his mega-selling single ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’? Or could Guy Sebastian’s starring role on the judging panel on this year’s X Factor get him over the line? It’s all over to you, with voting now open HERE.
The top four finalists will be announced on Channel [V] on Saturday November 19, with the ultimate winner being revealed on Saturday December 10.
Australia's first stop for pop!

Could be any of them as there are some hard voting fans out there for all these acts. Had to be to get them into the Top 10 amongst all that tough competition. I would think if Guy did manage to get over the line it might be more to do with his music than his current tv role. He did have some big selling releases in the last year, including a platinum album which spent twelve weeks in the top 10 and his second 4 x platinum single, which just so happened to be his fifth #1 single. He is way more than a judge on X Factor. He is a popular musician just as the other acts in the final 10 are.
