It's the finale for the Sunday Spotlight (for now). So following a huge week of the ARIA Awards this week. Music is on the comeback. Live music along with huge albums 7 artists have shared with us this year.
It's sad to say so long to the Sunday Spotlight however it's almost summer (who would believe that if you live in Sydney) so the Summer Music Lists are on their way back. Also 2022 is just around the corner!
So to the seven big nominations for the Album of the Year Nomination for 2021.
Amy Shark, where do I begin. It's been a huge year for Shark. That massive duet with Keith Urban, a song on her second record, Cry Forever named Amy Shark along with millions of streams and views online.
Olivia Rodrigo released her debut album earlier this year. It was a certified hit. With multiple singles, good 4 u, drivers license, traitor, deja vu and more. This debut album was one for the record books.
We finally got a debut record from Tones and I. Songs like Fly Away and Cloudy Day have been monster smash hits in 2021. Fly Away was also used on that highly emotional Qantas ad.
Billie Eilish follows Amy Shark, returning with a HUGE second record. Happier than Ever didn't pack as big a punch as her debut (a former album of the year) When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? but her fans still lapped it up.
A few versions later the Kid Laroi's Fuck Love 3: Over You has featured some (if not the biggest song of 2021) biggest songs of 2021. Stay with Justin Bieber has been a wild ride. Without You and So Done were also massive in 2020/2021.
Doja Cat's Planet Her is such a bold release. I'm so in love with this record. From the opener Woman to hits like Need to Know, You Right, Kiss Me More and Ain't Shit. This album was a monster release from the queen herself, Doja Cat.
Lil Nas X marks the seventh (possibly finale) Album of the Year Nomination for 2021. This album (like Tones and I) was the highly anticipated debut record, from the Old Town Road guy. This album full of hype, energy and love is incredible. I am such a fan. You hear the songs on Triple J or commercial radio. Montero is an epic release.
So which album will score the Album of the Year for 2021. Find out next month. For now let's celebrate these records with some choice cuts. Until tomorrow. Keep Calm.
