Here are the shortlisted songs for the Choice Music Prize Irish Song of the Year 2020

The shortlist for this year’s RTÉ Choice Music Prize Irish Song of the Year 2020 was announced today RTÉ 2FM’s Tracy Clifford Show and the shortlist is:

The Choice Irish Song of the Year 2020 is a public vote unlike the album shortlist which was announced earlier this month so we can expect a song of commercial appeal to win the vote – which can be done at  https://2fm.rte.ie/rte-choice-music/. 

Votes are limited to one per person per day. Only votes cast in the Republic of Ireland will be counted. Voting closes at midnight on Sunday 28^th February.
