Hoping for a Little Mix breakthrough in this category (either Sweet Melody or Confetti)

Little Mix definitely deserve some sort of nomination for the Confetti video! It was one of the best videos released in 2021 I’d say – the choreography, outfits, story, and of course them dressing up as men. Plus two of the three members filmed it whilst they were pregnant. It would be great to see them finally nominated for a VMA category and even win, in their 10 year anniversary year!

That would be such massive fraud. SYT is a straight up pop song.

Of course their gonna put in R&B.

The Weeknd won R&B Video for “Blinding Lights” so I wouldn’t be surprised if they place “Save Your Tears” there too.

And I’m not sure Olivia Rodrigo will get in both VOTY & SOTY. Her songs have made a bigger impact than her visuals.

I can see G4U getting Video and DL Song noms.

DL is the biggest song of the chart / calendar year while G4U is more a traditional VoTY nominee; #1 hit right before ceremony; splashy video (choreo, sets spectacle etc); tribute to a classic movie and is already doing far better on YouTube than DL did at this stage in it’s run.

Curious to they’ll do Best New Artist this year, obviously last year was the first they incorporate the MTV Push into the award (already present in the EMA BNA for a decade).

But last year’s was odd because they nominated 5 other artists (Arizona Versas, Finneas, Pop Smoke, Roddy Rich, Summer Walker) in addition to the 12 monthly Push Acts from the past year.

Assuming they do something similar this year, here’s the 9 confirmed nominees with MTV Push slots from Sept 2020 to now.

• 24kGoldn
• Ashnikko
• Big Latto
• JC Stewart
• Madison Beer
• Olivia Rodrigo
• SAINt JHN
• The Kid Laori
• Wallows

There is currently an ever updating “MTV Push Radar” Spotify playlist from the company official account, featuring a plethora of artists whom I assume will
be a monthly Push in the near future
(artists listed alphabetically)

• Alex Aonio
• Arlo Parks
• Beach Bunny
• Bishop Briggs
• boy pablo
• Boys World
• Cautious Clay
• Charm La’Donna
• Citizen Queen
• DE’WAYNE
• Empress Of
• Fiji Blue
• Gracey
• HUGEL
• Inayah
• Jacob Satorious
• JESSIA
• Joshua Bassett
• Kara Marni
• Kali Uchis
• LILHuddy
• Maggie Lindemann
• MEIA
• Miles Wesley
• MOD SUN
• Moon Taxi
• Olivia O’Brein
• Muni Long
• Nasty C
• Nessa Barrett
• Queen Naija
• Ralph Hardy
• Rebecca Black
• Rileyy Lanez
• Role Models
• Sabrina Carpenter
• Sara Keys
• TheHxliday
• Tone Stith
• Vedo
• Victoria Monét
• Xiaver Omär
• Yuna
• Zoe Welles

Huddy, Bassett, Black and Keys were the acts with multiple songs on that playlist so I’m assuming at least one (or all) of them a Push act within the next few months. (Although Rebecca Black would be a weird as hell “New Artist” considering she’s literally been known as a recording act for a decade now).

Back to aforementioned non-push nominated five, four of them had at least one major hit. Feel confident in some of the following being nominated:

• AJR
• Coi Leray
• CJ
• Gabby Barrett
• Giveon
• Glass Animals
• Kali Uchis
• Internet Money
• Lil Durk
• Lil Tjay
• Polo G
• Pooh Shiesty
• Saweetie
• Yung Bleu

The final nominee of the 17 (seven-****ing-teen) that was a non-Push act without a hit single was Finneas, an act already famous straddled the alternative genre whilst being pop-leaning with a decent fanbase. That specific type of act was harder to pin but think the following three could benefit:

• Bree Runway
• girl in red
• Rina Sawayama

Emmys FYC | Alan Tudyk in “Resident Alien” | Jennifer C. Holmes in “This Is Us” | Ego Nwodim in “Saturday Night Live” | Kaley Cuoco in “Harley Quinn” | “Dickinson” | “P-Valley” | “Pose” | “Superstore”
