Niall Horan a favourite for RTÉ Choice Music Prize

Niall Horan and his song ‘No Judgement’ are among the favourites to win at the 16th annual RTÉ Choice Music Prize.

The event celebrates the best in Irish recorded music, and according to the bookmakers, BoyleSport, the Mullingar man is at 7/2 from 9/2 to win the Choice Music Prize for Best Song of 2020.

The former One Direction star has been busy lately with his music and with the Modest! Golf company he founded in 2016 to help design and develop grassroots programmes to inspire the next generation of golfers.

Dubliner Dermot Kennedy is, however, the favourite to land the prize after his song ‘Giants’ went to 6/4 from a high of 5/1 last week.

The winner will be announced during 2FM’s special broadcast on Thursday March 4 on the Tracy Clifford Show.

Sarah Kinsella, spokesperson for BoyleSports, said: “Since the shortlist for the Choice Music Prize Song of the Year was revealed, punters have been getting behind Niall Horan to bag the top prize.

“The former One Direction member is now the second favourite, behind Dermot Kennedy.”
