Radiohead has uploaded their complete discography onto Youtube. This comes after Billboard announced that they’ll count Youtube streams in a bid to determine chart positions.
Everything produced by the band from their debut ‘Pablo Honey’ through to their most recent album, ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ has been added to the platform, found at this link.
According to the Reddit forum r/radiohead, the band’s catalog up to ‘Hail to the Thief’ includes a published timestamp of 2016. However, YouTube has labeled every playlist as “updated yesterday”, (Dec 18).
Billboard announced last week that audio and visual data from Youtube, as well as visual plays from a number of music streaming services, would be added into the Billboard 200 albums chart.
Furthermore, officially licensed video content plays from Apple, Spotify, Tidal, and Vevo will be factored into the album chart’s numbers.
Thom Yorke was last week named as a nominee for Best Original Song at the 92nd Academy Awards. He is being considered for his song, ‘Daily Battles’ from Motherless Brooklyn. Other nominees include Beyonce for her song ‘Spirit’, lifted from The Lion King.
Further considerations for the award include Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo’s ‘Letter to My Godfather’ (The Black Godfather), Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s ‘(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again’, (Rocketman), and Toy Story 4’s ‘I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away’ by Randy Newman.
Radiohead are best known for hits including ‘Paranoid Android‘, ‘Creep’ and their iconic album ‘OK Computer’, described by Rolling Stone as “a stunning art-rock tour de force”.
Guitarist Ed O’Brien released his new single ‘Brasil’, on December 5. He revealed the details of the track in an Instagram post, depicting a handwritten Christmas card. He also announced in the card that a second single would be arriving in early 2020.
He shared his inspirations behind the song, saying, “The story starts post the ‘King Of Limbs’ tour in 2012 when me and my family moved out to Brasil. We had a truly profound experience living in that extraordinary country,”
O’Brien further revealed that ‘Brasil’ had been produced “by my mate, the sonic maestro known as Flood.”
