* FandomRivalry: Ever since Music/OneDirection won the award for "Song of the Summer" (it ''was'' fan-voted, after all, and One Direction has won almost every such award they've been nominated for), things have been bitter between the two fandoms. Though, to be quite fair, "Best Song Ever" received ''more than 8.5 million votes,'' (even their closest rival, Miley Cyrus's "We Can't Stop," had less than half of that total; a little more than 4 million, to be exact), while "Get Lucky" had a paltry 42k votes, barely beating "Blurred Lines" to avoid finishing dead last.
