What about you? Which of the songs mentioned above are your favorites? None of the above? Please feel free to share with us your favorites in the comment section below.
I love Adele’s Hello which has earned three nominations for the 2017 Grammy Awards (Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance). Adele’s 25 is also vying for Album of the Year award alongside Justin Bieber’s Purpose, Beyonce’s Lemonade, Drake’s Views and Sturgill Simpson’s A Sailor’s Guide To Earth.
There’s of course Mark Ronson’s Uptown Funk and I also love Katy Perry’s Rise and John Legend’s recently released Love Me Now, but both are not in the list.
Happy viewing guys! And have a nice weekend!
