Frank Ocean - channel ORANGE (2012)

Reason for Listening:
Frank Ocean was one of the artists in the "fans also like" section for Childish Gambino on Spotify. I love "Thinkin Bout You" and "Forrest Gump" so I decided to listen to channel ORANGE even though Blonde appears to be more popular.*

*A whooping six out of the ten most popular tracks for Frank Ocean on Spotify come from Blonde (while only two come from channel ORANGE). Additionally, Blonde also performed better than channel ORANGE (219 weeks on the chart vs. 61 weeks on the chart).
