Each artist, album and release could be nominated in the corresponding categories, which gave the voters the most influence.

    It’s weird that Activation is considered the hardstyle track of the year of 2023. It had only about 6 million streams and it sounds much more Dutch Gabber EDM than Hardstyle Hard House.

    Push Up from Creeds had about 160 million streams. It’s much more close to the original form of Hardstyle (the beat and the vibe are very similar to the Klubbheads Hardstyle mix of Tha Wild Style by DJ Supreme, released in 1996).
