Billie Eilish won five grammies this year, best new artist was one of them
Sam Smith, Fun, Adele, Amy Winehouse, Alicia Keys, Arrested Development
Mariah Carey, Bruce Hornsby and the Range, Sade, Cyndi Lauper,
Culture Club, Men at Work, Sheena Easton, and Christopher Cross
Were the other best new artists during my purchasing of music
Which started in 1983
I saved for a long time as money was scarce
I tried to get as many hits on each record
I think by getting music for free has killed a lot of good music from being made
I don't know if we will ever see the explosion of good music from the 80's
A good song back then meant you could be rich
Sting made over one million just off of Every Breathe You Take
Record sales were a major part of earnings back then
Now it is live performances
