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 →

Posted on November 12, 2018 by Sam Atkins • Leave a comment

There’s less than a month to go until the nominations for the 2019 Grammys are revealed and I have just one more of the general field categories to cover. While the expansion of nominees to 8 means a lot for the likes of Best New Artist, for Album of the Year it could mean even … Continue reading →

Grammy Awards 2019: Nomination Predictions – Record of the Year

Posted on November 2, 2018 by Sam Atkins • Leave a comment

Probably the Grammy category most closely associated with the Billboard Hot 100 chart; there have only been a handful of nominees and even fewer winners to fail to make the higher echelons of the chart.

25) Drake – Nothing Was The Same Kicking things off is the third album from Drake, an artist who back in 2011 was on the brink of becoming the best Hip-Hop act currently recording. The pressure for Nothing Was The Same was so immense that it’s understandable that the end result was a slight disappointment. … Continue reading →

10) Lorde – Royals The most unexpected hit of 2013 finds itself in my top 10 of 2013. A 16 year old girl from New Zealand, Lorde defied all expectations when Royals topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.

Grammy Awards 2011: Was it worth the effort?

Posted on February 14, 2011 by Sam Atkins • Leave a comment

Post Grammy blog posts have looked very similar to each other for the last decade or two.
