List of Top 40 for Star Awards out liao

The list of Top 40 nominees are out already... many names are back, and there are a few additions, plus a few surprise exclusions (mostly for the guys)! The letters in bold are last year's winners... those in italics are those who have won a Top 10 award in previous years. If Biren wins this year's Top 10 award, she will be legible for an All-Time Favourite award next year. Chris and Mark will be tied at 9 wins if they each win a Top 10 award for this year's event.

The number to dial is 1900-112-30XX (last 2 digits corresponding to the artiste you are voting for)
