Next Tuesday a new edition of the Gardel Music Awardsbut The public vote, which is what chooses the Song of the year, is on hold for now.. This was reported by Capif, the music industry chamber that produces the awards. The reasons refer to the fact that irregularities were detected in the voting method via social networks: paying attention to the figures of this category that is open to the general public, it seems that many of the votes received would not have been from people.
“Voting through social networks in the Song of the Year category of the 2024 Gardel Awards is suspended,” says the statement sent to the media a few hours ago. Capif has detected serious irregularities in the voting on social networks in the Song of the Year category, confirming that many votes do not respond to real users or fans of the artists, but to bots. This situation is unacceptable and absolutely incompatible with the objective of open voting for the public, since it does not represent the will or preference of the public at all. “For what has been said, voting via social networks is completely annulled.”
As far as he could know THE NATION, in the Capif offices they are evaluating new procedures so that the people’s vote can resume, in the days remaining until the gala. What was clarified is that the category is not suspended nor will it be voted on by a special jury; The bet is on the opinion of the public, which is what has been deciding the shortlist for several years.
