What if Pop, R&B, Dance, Rock, Country and Rap album categories existed before?
Would Thriller by Michael Jackson have won the R&B or Pop album category?
Would Whitney by Whitney Houston have won the Pop Album category in 1988?
CeCe Peniston’s debut album would have won best Dance album in 1993.
Reply– Michael Jackson’s Thriller would’ve won Best Pop Album.

– Whitney Houston’s Whitney would’ve been nominated for Best Pop Album, but would’ve lost to Michael Jackson’s Bad.
– I’m not even sure if CeCe Peniston’s Finally would’ve been nominated for Best Dance/Electronica Album. It could go Pop or R&B.
– Toni Braxton’s self-titled debut album would’ve won Best R&B Album in 1993.I’m curious where the following albums by the following artists would be submitted.
Where would Janet Jackson’s albums, Control Rhythm Nation 1814 and Janet. be submitted? Black Cat from Rhythm Nation 1814 was nominated for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance
In addition to Prince’s Purple Rain and Sign O’ the Times albums?
Lastly, where would Mariah Carey’s albums, self-titled debut, Emotions and Music Box be nominated at?

– Mariah Carey: Best Pop Album
– Emotions: Best Pop Album
– Music Box: Best Pop AlbumControl by Janet Jackson would have probably lost to Anita Baker’s Rapture.
I think that Kylie Minogue would have won Dance Album for the one with Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.
Gloria Estefan would have won Dance Album for Gloria in 1999.
Lionel Richie probably would have won Pop Album for Can’t Slow Down.
ReplyCopy URLYeah in the 90s the Grammys would’ve done something as ridiculous as giving Gloria Estefan that Grammy for her “dance” album.
Donna Summer would’ve won that category a few times too. Same for other Disco artists from those days.
But this category seems like the one that NEVER would’ve existed “from day one” as the title of the thread says.
ReplyCopy URLIt’s irrelevant whether or not Janet would have lost to Anita Baker if R&B Album existed in the ’80s, especially when she still lost to Anita Baker in R&B Female. Control went R&B Female (not Pop Female) in the ’80s, so there’s no reason to believe had Pop Album existed, it would have gone there. Besides, if Janet’s label wanted to avoid Anita, she could have easily gone Urban Contemporary/Contemporary R&B or whatever it would have been called in the ’80s.
Anyway, Private Dancer is not an R&B Album, it’s definitely Pop. Also, Snoop’s Doggy Style would have been a strong contender to take Rap Album.
ReplyCopy URLQueen Latifah would have prevailed in Rap Album over Salt-N-Pepa and Snoop Doggy Dogg.
Aretha Franklin’s album called Aretha would have won R&B Album and this is the one with Jimmy Lee, I Knew You Were Waiting For Me and Jumping’ Jack Flash.
Where would Purple Rain have been submitted?
L.L. Cool J would have won Rap Album for Mama Said Knock You Out.
Dr. Dre would have won Rap Album for The Chronic.
ReplyCopy URLHoney, I highly doubt Queen Latifah would have won Best Rap Album. Salt-N-Pepa’s Very Necessary sold five million copies in the U.S. and the girls had tons of critical acclaim.
Purple Rain would have been submitted to Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.
Please Hammer, Don’t Hurt ‘Em by MC Hammer would have won Best Rap Album over Mama Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J. MC Hammer was nominated for Album of the Year and had massive commercial success.
ReplyCopy URLAretha Franklin’s Aretha album with Jimmy Lee and I Knew You Were Waiting would have won R&B Album for 1987.
Patti LaBelle would have won R&B Album for Burnin’ for 1991.
Luther Vandross would have been very deserving for R&B Album in 1985, but would have probably lost to Stevie Wonder In Circle or Aretha Franklin’s Who Zooming Who.
