I'm surprised the comments of the site itself hasn't mentioned the overlook of Rina Sawayama

by Staff to Grimes

I sincerely hope Elon and Grimes realises this is a human child, not an EP or a future Tesla model...

by Staff

This is a bold move, but at least this strategy will be a one time occasion.

by Edgeworth

chutbarn to be fair, Michael Kiwanuka was the only decent album out of all the nominees. Otherwise, yes it's a rather depressing state, especially if the nominees are based on chart success.

by Edgeworth

A mixed bag of winners here, but I only cared for Foals winning Best Group. That was way overdue for them considering how many times Foals got nominated for and deserved it.
Mabel over FKA Twigs and Charli xcx was a weird call.

by Staff

Or Lana produced a better album over a Piston cup incident?

by Staff

Hatsune Miku, enough said!

by Rob

It's a mixed bag if I'm honest.
Some deserve their mark, but their are far better candidates that should've been there over the inferior. Weyes Blood and Angel Olsen were my big snubs. Even Hatchie and Fontaines DC should've got Breakthrough nods.

by Edgeworth

This is the following changes as far as I'm aware:
Best International Group is scrapped
Critics Choice is changed to Rising Star
Best British Single is changed to Song of The Year
Audience Voting is scrapped in favour of official voting academy (Thank goodness)

by Staff

Don't get me wrong, it's great that Grimes is 2nd, but honestly Kill V. Maim is far better than Oblivion.

by Edgeworth to Dave

I think this just proves how biased Mercury are towards London artists.
The last non-London artist to have won was 7 years ago by Alt-J (An Awesome Wave)!

by Edgeworth to Dave

I had money on Fontaines D.C. winning as well...

by Staff

I'm quite surprised Laura Marling didn't make on their list considering how much praise The Guardian gave to her album, after album.
But, very satisfied to see both Grimes album up there, although Art Angels should've been way higher.

by Rob to Angel Olsen

Instant Day 1 purchase on the way!

by Staff to The 1975

Tsk, tsk, that's a rather bold thing to say.
So the one's that believe in climate issues are insane? More like the other way round.
If you find her statement garbage, then where's your proof to debunk the entire speech?
Are you prepared to debunk Leonardo DiCaprio statements....or even Robert Downey Jnr.'s action?

by Staff to The 1975

Such a meaningful speech, even Ezra Furman approves!

by Staff

And this is why I still support physical media.

by Staff to Courtney Barnett

This song is actually getting a Record Store Day treatment!

by Staff

40 Albums and No Idles? Wowzers and yet AM made it to 2nd.

by Staff to Grimes

Love the theme of this and actually a very decent cartoon show!

by Staff

To see Arctic Monkey's TBHC up among the ranks (Spoiler alert, 4th) really voids the list entirely.
