8 – Christmas – Michael Buble – D+

9 – The Weight of These Wings – Miranda Lambert – B

10 –  Hamilton: An American  – Various Artists – B

Comment: All three Christmas albums are unlistenable, Pentatonix drive me right up the world and Buble is the poster child for the death of the American songbook. The three various artists albums are terrible, good, great (you figure it out), Miranda is sinking without a lifeboat with one of the most misjudged comebacks ever, Bruno has lost to the Weeknd, which I thought was a great album album though not that great an album.
