Best of the Decade: Top 50 Albums
I don’t need to tell you that some brilliant albums were released in the 2010s. The word Landmark, or Important seems to have been used for some many full length records released. The image above shows the 40 albums (Minus some I forgot to include) of the list below that I own physically. These are … Continue reading
Best of the Decade: Top 100 Songs
I have collated a list of my top 40 songs of every year since 2010. That means 400 songs sit in a playlist of my ‘Best of the Decade’. Luckily I’m not expecting anyone to sit through hundreds of write ups of these songs, just one hundred. If you don’t fancy suffering through endless garbled … Continue reading

Best of 2019: Top 40 Singles
40) Barefoot in the Park (Feat. ROSALÍA) – James Blake On an album full of hip hop influenced electronic sounds, Barefoot in the Park truly stands out.

Grammy Awards 2020: Nomination Predictions – Album of the Year
There’s just over 24 hours to go until the nominations for the Grammy Awards 2020 are revealed and I’m finally going to nail down my final predictions for the biggest award of the night. Last year saw the most worthy winner in recent memory win, Golden Hour not only being one of the best albums of that year but of the decade. This year is full of fresh talent, who I think could take up most of the spots here ahead of more typical Grammy stars. Continue reading

Grammy Awards 2020: Nomination Predictions – Song of the Year
There are literally just hours to go until the Grammy Awards 2020 nominations are announced, so I’ll attempt to keep this round of Song of the Year short (That will never happen).

Grammy Awards 2020: Nomination Predictions – Record of the Year
Last year saw the same song take home both Record and Song of the Year at the Grammys. It was too hard to ignore the cultural and commercial significance of a song like This Is America for voters, but this year there isn’t an equivalent favourite. There’s just days to go until nominations are revealed, but for me the set of hits I expect to be in contention could result in a number of potential winners. Continue reading

Grammy Awards 2020: Nomination Predictions – Best New Artist
Last year I incorrectly predicted that Album of the Year nominee H.E.R. would win Best New Artist in an interestingly diverse category that didn’t have the biggest breakout stars of the year even in contention. This year surely will, I think that there’s 4 or 5 names here that would easily win in any other … Continue reading
