Canadian rapper The Weeknd has hit out at the Grammys for snubbing him in the recently announced nominations. Anyone who’s tuned into current music and pop culture would be shocked that the talented artists, with one of the most popular albums this year, failed to get included. According to the data-tracking firm BuzzAngle, ‘After Hours’ has sold 460,000 copies and has racked up more than 1.7 billion streams. Every year when nominations are rolled out, the Grammys are criticised for being out of touch with the times and for denying pop artists their due. This year doesn’t seem to be much different.
