Florence and the Machine was robbed

[FATCAT 55,828]

Kendrick deserved it, such a great album. Mirrors is my favorite song.

 

[SevenWonder 3,074]

Good for Kendrick. Rap isn't my thing, but I do like a lot of his stuff.

It looks like he's going to dominate the Hot 100 too. With most of his songs charting. Just like Bad Bunny. That still feels so weird to me! Someone big drops an album and, just like that, they have five or six or ten top ten "hits" in one week. Overnight.

Florence outsold. The streaming era is wild.
