Diamond Rain: The 2017 Platinum Vinyl Awards 4th Qtr - Live Recorded Album

Tied with Adult Contemporary with 11 entries this quarter is Live Recorded Album. It isn't technically a genre, but we do have an award category for it. Let's get to it.

Live Recorded Album

The list is slightly worship centric, but such is the nature of the format. 11 was a three-way tie, and the third in the group is hip-hop. We will hop over there next time. While you're waiting, why don't you click the links in any of these posts and go to amazon. Buy through the link and support The Night Beat at the same time.

Diamond Rain: The 2017 Platinum Vinyl Awards 4th Qtr - Gospel

Tied for "Last Place" among the single genre posts is Gospel. Of course nine entries is nothing to sneeze at. And if you do sneeze at a pool entry you have a really weird allergy. Let's get to it. 

Gospel/R&B

Diamond Rain: The 2017 Platinum Vinyl Awards 4th Qtr- Pop

We move on to the single genre posts. We begin with Pop music, which had nine entries, which gives you an idea about how many the winner has. Let's get to it. 

Pop Music

This is the least of the single genre posts. When 7 genres exceed the final 7 entries, you know there will be a lot of judging, and that is a good thing. Next up is Gospel, which also had nine entries. Until then, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
