Western music is almost as insulting to art as many people think kpop is

Different acts do different things, some would say albums not standing by themselves for more than six months shows the life of their work.

Wow great numbers for the UK! And INLA and ARUTW top 30 as well :excited:

Let's hope that lead is enough to account for the slight slip in sales today!

Variety: Grammy Awards 2019 Predictions: Who Will the Nominees Be?

SONG OF THE YEAR

Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, “Shallow” (from “A Star Is Born”)  :vegas:
This late-comer was released just days before the October 1 deadline for Grammy eligibility, and the film’s momentum is bringing it Oscar buzz as well. It never hurts to have a cinematic connection for Song of the Year nominees — the award recognizes songwriting, while Record honors producers and musicians — and “Shallow” marks the moment in the film where a star is truly born: Filmed before a live audience at L.A.’s Greek Theater, Cooper shambolic country-rocker sings the first verse, and then summons the unknown Ally (Gaga) to belt out the second verse. The song seems certain to be performed during either the Grammys or the Oscars next year.

Following the opening of the film on Oct. 5, the single — penned by Gaga and Mark Ronson, along with Dirty Pretty Things’ Anthony Rossomando and Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt — predictably took off, climbing to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Gaga’s 15th Top 10 and, well, Cooper’s first. The song’s theme of not taking the easy road and sacrificing to embrace one’s dreams without regrets is the kind of message that makes for awards-show gold.

Spoiler

Dan & Shay, “Tequila”
This Nashville-based duo — Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney — has been hovering on the edges of crossover success through three albums. Their best showing to date is this single, a full-on ballad and unlikely ode to mezcal which features the kind of solid, manicured production and tuneful vocals the Academy loves to celebrate.

Drake, “Nice for What”
The second hit single and chart-topper from Drake’s “Scorpion” features samples from Lauryn Hill’s “Ex Factor” and nods to the torch song “The Way We Were.” But by any metric, it was one of the biggest hits of the year.

Ariana Grande, “No Tears Left to Cry”
Considering its title and context — the song was the first released by Grande after the May 2017 bombing at her concert in Manchester, England, which killed 22 people — “No Tears” is surprisingly upbeat. Written by Grande with hitmakers Max Martin, Savan Kotecha and Ilya, the song peaked at No. 3 on the Hot 100 and offers the kind of redemption story awards shows love.

Khalid, Normani, “Love Lies” (from the “Love, Simon” soundtrack)
The singer-rapper made a big splash at the 2018 Grammys with five nominations and a performance during the show that demonstrated his poise and promise. This duet with ex-Fifth Harmony member Normani was written by the pair with Jamil Chammas, Ryan Vojtesak and Tayla Parx, and it harks back to vintage Motown while still being rooted in today’s hip-hop-informed R&B.

Post Malone (featuring 21 Savage), “rockstar”
Deemed too successful to be nominated for Best New Artist, Post Malone’s blockbuster year may earn him gold in other categories. This song kicked off 2018 for him by topping the Billboard Hot 100 for a whopping eight weeks and breaking Spotify’s record for the longest run at No. 1 on the streamer’s global charts.

Keala Settle, “This Is Me” (from “The Greatest Showman”)
“A Star Is Born” will probably be looming over the Grammys, but this rousing self-empowerment anthem penned by the red-hot duo of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (of “Dear Evan Hansen” and “La La Land” fame) suggests the ongoing success of this unlikely blockbuster will resonate for some time to come.

Taylor Swift, “Delicate”
Swift flipped the script with her sixth album, “Reputation,” adding more challenging material and a confrontational attitude. And while her sixth album lacked a smash single on the scale of “Shake It Off,” this late-bloomer, written by Swift with Max Martin and Shellback, proved that she’s lost none of her hitmaking skill.

Dreams of you and me are in the dirt.
