No. Unless it's Happy by Marina, no. Dumb Pharrell littering our ears with his rubbish. I pray his career flops harder than Paula

[Fame Romance 10,517]

I still don't get over the fact that they gave the grammy for best music video to Happy instead of Chandelier.

​Labels have to pay a fee to have certifications awarded everytime after one of their albums/songs reached a certain amount of sales (hence why Born This Way is still at Gold even though it sold probably enough to be certified 3x Gold for example).
