Popjustice crowns Example as single of the year

If last night was the Mercury Prize night, that must mean it was also the night for Popjustice's glittering Twenty Quid Music Prize for best single of the year.

This was the winner:

Nicola pockets twenty quid

Congratulations to Girls Aloud for picking up the Popjustice £20 Music Prize for The Promise, and a round of applause to Nicola Roberts for heading over to pick up the cash. It's not like she really needed the publicity. Or the cash.

Nobody from The Sugababes showed up for the £20 Invoice for worst single. Pity.
