Re: Errors in the 2015 Update

"Tuesday" by ILoveMakonnen should be mentioned on Drake's page I think.

Edit: Setherex pointed this out already, but as a correction to that, the song should be titled just "Tuesday" on Drake's page cos the original is "Club Goin' Up on a Tuesday".

Re: Albums of 2015

I think Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weeknd might be this year's 1989 in terms of critical acclaim. At least it has a kind of similar commercial sound. I didn't really like 1989, but I like BBTM.

He's released almost a full album worth of material this year but no album (yet) :lol: Yeah and he's been giving his songs to other people like FourFiveSeconds and Piss on Your Grave.
