Grammy Awards 2016 Nomination Predictions – Album of the Year
First off we have the biggest early favourite, of course Taylor Swift’s 1989. It’s crazy to think back to 2 years ago when I was saying the exact same thing about her Red album, which looked like the obvious choice for this award in 2014. Continue reading

30) Björk – Crystalline It may not be one of the singer’s standout hits, and may have failed to set the chart alight, but the last minute or so of Crystalline remains one of my favourite moments of 2011.
