17 out of 40 there... although that's nowhere near half the albums I bought last year, I'd like to give a shoutout to loads of other artists too that I've enjoyed more than some the above like Tinashe, FKA Twigs, Liv Warfield, Jhene Aiko, Jessie Ware, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Lamb, Daley, Annie Lennox, Katy B, Kiezsa, Laura Mvula etc etc.

None because I dont see the point in current era tosh where they cant sing.

right, because if you're a top 40 artist you have NO talent whatsoever? good lord...
