you know what’s crazy to me
flo are the only black british artists in the uk top 60 album chart
as in no other black british album past or present
(it would have been the entire top 100 if it wasn’t for the great mf doom who isn’t even alive)
last week there were only two black british artists on the entire uk too 100 album charts
one was myles smith’s debut & the other was by JLS - 15 years after it came out
(i haven’t included leigh-anne who’s featured as part of little mix)

Quincy Jones, one of the most powerful forces in American popular music for more than half a century, died at 91. He produced Michael Jackson’s "Thriller," the best-selling album of all time, and was a prolific arranger and composer of film music. nyti.ms/3AuTahh
