It’s that time again for end-of-year lists. But here on SiriusXM’s VOLUME (Ch. 106), we do things a little differently. All year long, we talk about music and the people behind it. Now, it’s time to relive the magic and chaos by highlighting who and what stood out in 2018. Hosted by Jim Shearer, with commentary from Eddie Trunk, Nik Carter, Mark Goodman, Alan Light, Lori Majewski, and more, the VOLUME Awards will air LIVE Thursday, December 20 from 7pm to 9pm ET.

The winners from each category will be picked in a secret ballot voted on by the entire VOLUME staff of hosts, contributors, and producers.

Check out the categories and nominees below, and don’t forget to tune in!
