Of course with 2015 winding down it was only right TSR brought you the biggest L takers but it is also always nice to end the year with a little bit of positivity as well, right?
Not everyone took a loss this year, some actually had their biggest days go down in 2015 so why not highlight their accomplishments as well. Check out TSR’s Biggest Winners of 2015:
Biggest Winners:
17. Empire Cast:
Now we all know Wednesday nights on FOX almost became a snooze fest had it not been for Luscious Lyon and the Lyon Dynasty to come in and save the day or night we should say! Hakeem and Jamal Lyon are both musically pleasing to listen to while Andre is definitely easy on the eyes. And how could forget about Miss Cookie Lyon the most bad azz woman on television! You don’t know if you should dap her up or hide your jaw but anyways thank you for making our Wednesday nights that much more spicy!
16. Kendall and Kylie Jenner:
Hate them or love them but the proof is definitely in the pudding, these two have had two very different but a very big 2015. Of course, Kylie followed in her big sister Kim’s footsteps and broke the internet with her lip kits. Can you believe them things sold out in the matter of minutes? Who knew the world need Kylie lips that bad! Anyways, Kendall on the other hand had a big year in modeling. She took the fashion world by force becoming the face of Estee Lauder , gracing Vogue covers, and even walking in the Victoria Secret fashion show! The Jenner sisters definitely know how to make their coin!
15. Kendrick Lamar:
Kendrick Lamar is nominated for 11 Grammys!!! Need we say more? The lyricist has already won 2 Grammys earlier this year and its safe to say that Kendrick has definitely been on the top of his game this year!
14. Viola Davis:
Viola inspired many when she became the first African American woman to win an Emmy for best actress in a drama category this year. Even though that should have been the highlight of the night, it was her acceptance speech that really stole the show! Just incase you missed it here you go:
13.Taraji P Henson:
We think its safe to say that Taraji’s character, Cookie Lyon, definitely puts the E in Empire! Her role also won her an Emmy nomination and has also made history along with Viola Davis as it was the first time that two black women were nominated at the same time for the same category. Even though, she lost to Viola, it was still a big win for her. She was awarded Vh1’s Big in 2015 award for her big accomplishments this year. Go Taraji!
12. Straight Outta Compton:
Now if you haven’t gone to see this movie yet then there is something seriously wrong with you! Even though the notorious rap crew N.W.A was a scary force to be reckoned with back in the day, Straight Outta Compton definitely offered a different side to the story. Not only did it offer fans and maybe a lot of non fans a look into what life was like back then, it also broke precedent today as well.The biopic netting over $200 million worldwide in box office sales and became the highest-grossing movie from an African-American director, ever!!
11. Oprah:
Where should we even begin with this one! This woman is just rolling in dough, I mean she is a billionaire and her acquisition of Weight Watchers just made her even wealthier! If y’all did not know Miss Oprah made $45 million in a day off of that deal! Oprah, still waiting on those adoption papers!
10. Nene Leakes:
Nene may have become the villain of the Real Housewives of Atlanta but one thing is for sure, she has definitely been getting her coin honey! From Broadway shows to her clothing line and even being on a few shows like Fashion Police, Nene has definitely come a long way from her humble beginnings!
9. Zendaya:
Normally a bubbly young teen, Zendaya really showed the world how mature she was when she read E!’s Giuliana Rancic for filth for her disgusting ‘dread locks’ comment she made on Fashion Police. Rancic made fun of Zendaya’s hairstyle and said, “I feel like she smells like patchouli oil.” Well Zendaya clapped back and said
She also has received two of her very own Madame Tussaud was figures! Yes, you go girl!
8. Taylor Swift:
Taylor Swift was definitely a force to be reckoned with this year when it came to music. Already an 7x Grammy award winner, Taylor Swift has scored herself seven more Grammy nominations for the 2016 show! Lets not forget about her being entered into the Guinness Book of World Records 2016 from having the most million-selling weeks on US albums chart3.
7. The Dab
This dance literally too the world by storm. Everybody and we mean EVERRRRYBODY has been spotted doing this dance. From athletes to news anchors and even some grandparents have been spotted getting down with The Dab. As of right now, Migos takes credit for making this dance a sensation, lets just hope it doesn’t get to worked out before 2016 hits!
6. Future
Future has definitely made a name for himself this year! Not only did he drop his Dirty Sprite 2, his collaboration with Drake on WATTBA definitely stamped him in the game. Lets not forget he has a hive now as well!
5. Patti Pies:
Many never have I ever, seen so many pies fly off the shelves the way them Patti Pies did after James Chanel caught the Holy Ghost from eating them! The thirst or shall we say the hunger was real!
4. The Weeknd:
The Weeknd had an awesome year in music as his latest album “Beauty Behind The Madness” racked him up on seven Grammy nominations. Not only that he also scored big in love since it was reported that he’s dating the beautiful, Bella Hadid!
3. Fetty Wap
Well even though, Fetty’s year may not be ending as great as he may have hoped, he still has had a pretty big year especially as a rookie! He has already been nominated for MTV Music Awards, BET awards, People’s Choice Awards, America Music awards, and Grammy awards! This man really has set the bar high and we can’t wait to see what he has in store for us next year!
2. Adele:
Adele is the only person we know that can go away for years and drop one song and have the world go literally mad! Not only that her tickets for her 2016 North American tour sold out in literally a minute and a half! Just incase you don’t understand the magnitude of it all, that was 440,000 tickets ranging from $40 to $750 for a 56-date tour sold out in 120 seconds!!! Who does that? Oh wait, Adele did!
1.Drake:
Where do we even start with this one. Drake has been winning since he came out a few years ago but he has definitely solidified his mark in music this year. Who can forget the battle between him and Meek Mill! Not only that but one of his dis tracks makes it all the way to the Grammys, talk about adding insult to injury!! His partnership with Apple also solidified that his pockets will stay fat for a very long time. Lastly, Drake can say he dated Serena Williams! What a great year for Drake!
Our Honorable mentions: Chris Brown and JCole have both done excellent throughout their musical careers and have remained consistent with breaking new grounds.
