12 Albums You Forgot Were Released In 2015
We rounded up a dozen album that came and went so far this year.

The 2015 Primetime Emmy Nominations have been revealed today (July 16), and the extensive list includes categories for actors, television shows — and our personal favorite — music!

Montage of Heck, the much-discussed HBO documentary that focuses on Kurt Cobain, scored five nominations — which included Outstanding Cinematography for Nonfiction Programming and Outstanding Writing For Nonfiction Programming.

Beyonce and Jay Z‘s On The Run (which also aired on HBO), received a nod for Outstanding Special Class Program. Other nomination highlights include Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga: Cheek To Cheek LIVE! for Variety Special, Katy Perry’s Superbowl Halftime performance for Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program and The Voice for Production Design For Variety, Nonfiction, Reality or Reality-Competition Programming.

The 67th Primetime Emmy Awards will air on September 20 at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater, with comedian/actor Andy Samberg to host.
