The MTN Record of the Year category is the only category in the MTN SAMAs where the winner is decided by the public through SMS votes. The public are given a list of 20 nominees comprising of artists, duos or groups that dominated the airwaves in 2012, which is based on the number of times a track was played across South African radio stations.

The final five (5) nominees will then be determined and voting lines will re-open on the 10th May at 08h00 and the winner will be announced during the live broadcast of the MTN SAMA 19 Awards on SABC 1 after an audit process on the 11th May.
