MMI 2018 Listeners' Picks Poll
The annual MMI Listeners' Picks poll aims to establish the top favourite releases of the year among the weekly Mużika Mod Ieħor podcast listeners.
A list of music from Maltese recording artists released in 2018 is being compiled by Toni Sant for his thirteenth annual MMI Listeners' Picks poll. This is not a fully comprehensive list of 2018 releases; Toni Sant has always maintained, through his podcast and blog, that he is somewhat selective - but the scope has always been to include as many titles as possible at the nomination stage.
