Piercing Ken Thoughts: Another long list but once again one that doesn’t pay any mind to the primary genre that I love so much and support in earnest over on PiercingMetal.com – oh well, what can you do. For those who wonder about how these awards come to pass, according to their Official Wikipedia entry “the Billboard Music Awards finalists are based on album and digital songs sales, streaming, radio airplay, touring, and social engagement. These measurements are tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen Music and Next Big Sound”. Considering the lack of Heavy Music presented or any of the tours that I knew were sold out at each and every stop, I guess the fans of those events aren’t in the tabulations. Oh well. I didn’t watch the broadcast and since I know so few of what the winners ended up being am kind of glad that I bypassed it. What about you folks who listen to much different stuff from my Metal side? Did some of your favorites win or were they cheated out of the prize? Chime in down below in the comments since that is what they are here for after all. Congrats to Ed Sheeran and Kendrick Lamar who seem to have brought home the bacon with this years awards.
