The annual awards,
first started in 1973, was music industry specific, as both nominations and
winners were decided by chosen members of the music industry, commercial
performances and so on. However, this trend saw a halt in 2005 when the sole
criterion for the nominations and victory has been the vote of fans and public.
Below is a detailed list of the winners in different categories in the 2022
