What a waste of wafer that could have gone into a SoC in Mac, iPad or iPhone etc

You can't be serious with this comment. 😂

The award is a waste because the wafer could be used to make like, what, 10 out of 100 million chips or whatever?
 
You know you are old (or maybe highly intelligent 😉) when the discussion is who should have gotten the award, and you know none of the people they are talking about. 😄

Actually, for a 12 inch (11.8" to be precise) it's around 300 per wafer. Although it varies due to, wait for it, chip size. Still, 3000% of your 'estimate'.

(seriously, whoever's handing out awards at Apple Music thinks Billie Eilish has had the biggest impact this year? 🙃)

I love Billie I do but this last album wasn’t it and I feel like there are others on this list who could have had this award.

Beyoncé for example released a country album reminding and educating ppl on the fact that country music originated in black culture and took it back.
While I liked her last album more, I still thought this latest one was pretty good. Especially after learning she wrote most of it immediately following the most painful heartbreak she’d experienced so far. Really made the lyrics in the songs feel more authentically visceral and cerebral for me, rather than the typical sad girl ballads you hear nowadays that are oftentimes just melancholy for melancholy’s sake.

That Beyoncé country album SLAPS. While I have a few of her biggest hits in my library, I could take or leave her music for the most part over the years. But that album transformed me into being a fan of hers simply because of the sheer amount of work that went into it as well as proving her versatility as an artist and producer. I genuinely can’t remember the last time I was so surprised and impressed by something new in the pop music scene before I listened to that album.
