Well hello again, everybody. The cold and sadness of February is behind us and I think we all made it out unscathed. At least I hope we did. Maybe you didn't. If you were on the fence about making it, perhaps it was because you thought to yourself, "Self, life's terrible. It's cold outside, it's dark so early, my girlfriend left me on Valentine's Day, and my cat refuses to acknowledge me unless he's hungry. However, I have to press through because I'm just hellbent on finding out what albums Droogsy's been listening to while he traverses the darkest days of winter."
First off, if you did actually have these thoughts, you have issues. Real, serious issues and I would absolutely advise you to seek professional help or, failing that, unprofessional help. Second, things are looking up, because it's time to recap Flatbasset Radio's 50 Most Played Albums of February 2015.
As always, one "play" equals one listen to one song, meaning an album with 10 tracks counts as 10 plays. Let's get to it.
