Beyonce is currently forecast to win Album of the Year this year for her cultural sensation “Lemonade,” for which she’s nominated nine times total, more than any other artist. In the top category she’s up against Adele (“25”), Justin Bieber (“Purpose”), Drake (“Views”) and Sturgill Simpson (“A Sailor’s Guide to Earth”). But there have been numerous upsets over the last 20 years, so maybe she shouldn’t get too comfortable in her frontrunner perch. One way or another, though, one of these five artists will claim a prime spot in Grammy history.
The 2017 Grammy Awards will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California this Sunday, February 12. The event is being hosted for the first time by James Corden, a Tony and Emmy winning performer and the host of CBS’s “Late Late Show” where he has already gotten cozy with several Grammy winners thanks to his viral segment “Carpool Karaoke.”
