40 From 40 Plus 10: 2015

What sort of year was 2015? Well, its biggest selling track was 2014's Uptown Funk, which gives some indication of how stagnant the middle of the decade was. There was of course a major populist upheaval at the end as Adele's 25 became Britain's fastest million-seller in history, and the horrific low of the Bataclan attack. Apple Music and Tidal were launched, the Beatles joined Spotify in response, Madonna was dragged down the stage at the Brits and Kanye stood under some lights at Glastonbury. Out here...
