Toggle predicts: Which artistes will make it into the coveted Most Popular Artistes list this Sunday?
It’s been an intense past few weeks for fans of artistes who are vying to get into the coveted Top 10 Most Popular Male and Female Artistes list, and with the number of contenders increased to 48 (from the usual 40) this year, the competition is fiercer than ever.
Things have also been a little different in terms of how viewers have been kept updated about the weekly rankings. For three Sundays since last month, The Road to Star Awards episodes revealed either the top 8 or bottom 8 on that night, letting supporters know whether to keep up the good work or buck up in their efforts. Last week, the Top 48 was whittled down to the Top 40, with eight artistes, including Hong Hui Fang and Pierre Png, being booted from the match.
In two days, the polls will close and the 20 winners – 10 male and 10 female – will be announced. But before that comes to pass, the Toggle team has assembled for our yearly predictions meeting to try and foresee which stars will walk home with Top 10 trophies this Sunday night. Read on for our bets!

Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes
In the safe zone: Felicia Chin, Paige Chua, Julie Tan, Bonnie Loo, Sora Ma
Like Jesseca, Felicia’s absence in the top 8 came as a surprise to us, but given her track record (six wins out of seven nominations) and how she’s been getting an extra dose of attention thanks to her relationship with Jeffrey Xu, she should be able to take that one important step closer to All-Time Favourite prestige.
