Fans had been voting for a shortlist of 20 songs, including tracks by Robyn, The 1975, Brockhampton and more, and Annie Mac revealed the winner on air last night (December 6).
Reacting to their win,Twenty One Pilots said: “We knew all that voting we did would pay off. It’s one of our favourite songs to play live and favourite songs in general so to hear it’s an important record to our fans is pretty awesome.”
