NEW YORK (Naomi Awards) - With the results of increasingly commercial Brits announced tomorrow, Brian McFadden, Busted and Pete Doherty have been named among the worst artists in the third annual Naomi Awards, set up by digital music broadcaster Music Choice to dishonour the most awful achievements in the musical year.

The 'unluck' of the Irish has struck this year's Naomi Awards with Louis Walsh picking up the top gong for Outstandingly Bad Contribution to Music. The pint sized 'leprechaun' responsible for Girls Aloud, Samantha Mumba and this year's Worst International Group winners Westlife, often boasts of his numerous chart successes �watch this space for G4 and Voices with Soul in next year's nominations. Former Westlife member and 'Irish Son' Brian McFadden completed the Irish hat -trick, as he scooped Worst International Male - topping off a less than successful solo year.

The boy band meets Green Day bandwagon looks to be over as the recently split Busted picked up a Worst British Attempt at Rock gong. The 'rock' boys can add the award to their other lowlights of 2004, which included a soundtrack as successful as the flop that was Thunderbirds. Busted's tribute band McFly collect their first Naomi title as Worst British Breakthrough Act . Let's hope their career goes the same way as their mentors � with another bust-up before next year's awards.

Though undoubtedly a talented musician, the off-stage antics of jailbird Pete Doherty have led to a string of no shows and 'Baby' shambolic performances, which have earned the supermodel's squeeze the accolade of Worst Live Act in this year's awards.

Blue, who recently announced they would be pursuing solo projects, beat a cavalcade of top name embarrassments and big budget bombs (including One True Voice rejects, Phixx) to be voted the Worst British Group.

Pint sized jazz man, Jamie Cullum nabbed Worst British Male and FHM favourite Rachel Stevens 'triumphed' in the Worst British Female category as voted for by a secret* panel of 100 of the great and the not-so-good of the music industry and media.

The industry's fatigue of manufactured acts was demonstrated for the third year running as Pop Idol reject duo Sam & Mark received the accolade for Worst British Pop Act for their flop-horror debut, I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends, whilst Pop Idol 'winner', Michelle McManus scooped Worst British Album for the easily forgotten The Meaning of Love.

MC 'Big Egg' Kenzie has also fallen foul of the reality tv curse following his appearance on 'Celebrity' Big Brother, Blazin Squad pick up Least Convincing Urban Act for the second year running. Fellow ex-BB housemate Nadia makes a predictable appearance on this year's winners list after her foray into pop gained her the accolade of Worst International Female. Lookout Dana International!

Named in honour of the British supermodel Naomi Campbell, who not-so-memorably reached number 40 in the UK charts with Love and Tears in September 1994, the Naomi Awards reward all that is truly terrible about the previous year's music. The awards are voted for by artists, producers, managers, publicists, record company execs, music journalists and the wider media.

Music Choice Music & Marketing Director Simon George said: "In an industry that is becoming more and more about shifting records by whatever means necessary, as opposed to discovering and showcasing real musical talent, it is a sad fact that awards and honours are often handed out to those with the best haircut or the best dress sense. The Naomi Awards are a chance for real music lovers in the music world to give these artists due recognition for their crimes against music."

- Worst British Group: Blue
