from what’s been released so far evermore and positions are the only ones with a chance at a BPVA nom. I would say drivers license is an early favorite for BPSP and Levitating for BPGDP.

Holy too for pop duo.
I don’t see either positions or evermore winning though. I think some big star will release and win. Maybe billie can

Conan Gray’s “Heather” is missing for Pop Solo. Lil Nas X’s “Holiday” and Morgan Wallen’s “7 Summers” could both be placed in Pop too, but we’ll see.

Levitating is #7 on Hot 100.  Given how Un Dia got a nom and never peaked in top40 of Hot 100, this looks like an easy nom in Pop Duo.

Get real!  Ariana Grande is definitely NOT the frontrunner in any category.  Stop being delusional.

Honestly drivers license could… (obviously we don’t know what will happen to this song but it could smash) get a nomination for pop solo

I’ve already got 5 nominations (Anyone, Positions, Driver’s License, Therefore I Am and Willow) for BPSP help….. They all feel like possible nominees so FML, because there definitely will be stronger contenders throughout the year
I guess maybe Anyone could miss since it won’t be remembered by voting time. People at least remembered Yummy due to how bad it was.

Johnny Depp is a wifebeater.

I’m not sure Rodrigo will make it into Pop Solo.

Don’t forget Adele, Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, etc. could potentially release before the eligibility window ends as well.

People in another thread where saying Rodrigo wouldn’t get into BNA because the Grammys like to nominate artists when they have albums out to prove they aren’t flukes?

But in the last two years, Lil Nas X, CHIKA, and Noah Cyrus have received BNA nominations with nothing but EPs out. I can’t see a world where she doesn’t get the BNA nomination. BNA + SOTY seem realistic for her right now (unless Interscope are so taken by the hype they tell her to expand her EP into an album instead).

Honey, I will lose my dinner if “Afterglow,” “Driver’s License,” “Positions,” “Therefore I Am,” and “Willow” get in Best Pop Solo Performance.  BARF!
