PC for Worldwide Act |
Actress-singer Priyanka Chopra has been voted Best India Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMA) 2015 after beating Monica Dogra, Indus Creed, The Ska Vengers and Your Chin, who were also nominated in the same category. The pop/EDM singer is now pitted against Best AfricaAct Diamond Platinumz in the Best Worldwide Act: Africa/India Act category. Fans will now vote their favorite in the category on the MTV website and choose the final winner. What`s significant is that an Indian artiste has never won in this category before (though Yo YoHoney Singh was nominated twice), and if Priyanka snatches this win, it will be a first for the country. Priyanka released her first single "In My City" feat. will.i.am in 2012, which sold more than 130,000 copies in its first week, topped the Hindi pop chart and was certifiedtriple platinum. The song was also the theme of NFL`s Sunday night football in 2012-13 seasons.
