Podcast listeners have picked their top Maltese music for 2007. Toni Sant's Mużika Mod Ieħor 2007 Listeners' Picks poll opened for votes in mid-December through an exclusive application developed by James Attard for Facebook.

Speaking about the songs selected to top the categories namely Online Music Videos, Albums, Singles/EPs, Internet Releases and the Maltese Based Overseas categories, Toni Sant said they ‘are but a sample of the excellent releases from last year’.

Scream Daisy won two of the five categories. “Scream Daisy had Ira Losco hot on their tail for weeks in the 2007 Top Albums category. The band managed to outdo the former Eurovision singer with just 4 votes. On the other hand, Scream Daisy's Pretty was voted the 2007 Top Online Music Video garnering more than twice the votes of the next contenders on the list, who were Winter Moods with their video for Marigold beautifully shot at the Manoel Theatre. Scream Daisy were the runner-up in last year's Singles/EPs category, so I'm not surprised that they've swept the board in two categories this year,” MaltaMedia’s creative director said.

The 2007 Listener’s Pick are:

2007 Top Album
Scream Daisy - Scream Daisy

2007 Top Single/EP
Xtruppaw - Forza Malta (B'Għajta Waħda)
The Rifffs - Jack the Ripper

2007 Top Internet Release
The Characters - One In A Million
Dean Saviour - Marshmallow Girl

2007 Top Online Video
Scream Daisy - Pretty

2007 Top Overseas-based Release
Mathematikal - Electrophant

The total number of titles nominated this year was 112, with 26 albums, 22 online releases, 19 overseas-based, 13 videos, and 32 singles/EPs. Nominations were gathered between September 14 and November 26, based mostly on tracks played on Toni Sant's weekly podcasts.
