TGMA Board Explains Why King Paluta’s ‘Makoma’ Was Not Nominated In The 26th Edition

The Board of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards has responded to why King Paluta’s ‘Makoma’ was not nominated in this year’s scheme.

 

Contrary to rumours of supposed profanity in the song, a press release signed by Robert Klah, the head of communications and public events at Charterhouse, indicates otherwise.

 

The organizers say, “Each artist can have only one song per category, except for Best Collaboration, Best International Collaboration, and Best Music Video.”

 

 

 

They further explain that “this rule prevents vote-splitting and ensures that artists have the most substantial chance of winning.

 

Using King Paluta’s “Aseda” and “Makoma” as an example, we applied this rule to select the most popular song. Based on our research, including streaming numbers and airplay from 175 radio stations, “Aseda” was adjudged the more popular choice in both Highlife and Most Popular Song of the Year categories,” the statement indicates.

 

They also acknowledge that although the Board relaxed this rule in some notable years of the scheme, its current stance is to allow only one nomination per artist per category.
