The music magazine GAFFA (www.gaffa.dk) has nominated Basim’s self-penned Eurovision Song Contest entry Cliché love song as Årets Danske Hit, which translates as Best Danish Hit.  Basim took to his official Facebook page to express his gratitude for the nomination, and provided information on where to vote for his song:
