Niall Horan's No Judgement has been announced as the RTÉ Choice Music Prize Song of the Year 2020.
The result was announced today by singer-songwriter Ruth Anne.
The Choice Music Prize was announced virtually this year due to Covid restrictions being in place. The awards for Song of the Year and Album of the Year were announced live on RTÉ 2FM's Tracy Clifford Show, as well as being broadcast live on RTÉ Player.
In a video shared on Instagram by RTÉ 2FM, Horan said: "Thank you so much for your support on this song, and just the general Irish support – it really means a lot to me."
The Mullingar native added: "I can't wait to come home – I haven't been home in such a long time – and get up on stage and see you guys in person again. One day soon, hopefully."

No Judgement featured on Niall Horan's second album, Heartbreak Weather, released in 2020.
Speaking about the song when it was first released, Horan said: "No Judgement is one of my favourites I've written. Loved writing this song as I knew exactly what I wanted to say.
"And from blank canvas idea to the most colourful and most fun video to make with my guy Drew Kirsch. What a day with the wonderful Pimm and Barbara, the real stars in this clip.
"Let’s stop judging each other, life isn’t about that. Enjoy it and enjoy this video! Go and dance like no one is watching."
