Black Pumas are currently nominated in AOTY for a deluxe version of a 2019 album. That’s ridiculous.

I wouldn’t rule out Phoebe Bridgers from BNA, she has been campaigning pretty hard and got 4 nominations out of it in both Alternative and Rock, but the fact that Doja is in another GF category outside of BNA indicates she has the support, same with Megan.

That’s just assuming those two albums made top 20, though.

Considering FTBC got support in the Rock and Alternative categories I think it would’ve received enough votes to get into the top 20, same with Roddy getting into both SOTY & ROTY, it seems unlikely to me that he would get into two GF categories but not reach the top 20 in AOTY.

The most shocking nom for me was Coldplay getting into AOTY and nothing else. It wasn’t commercially successful, didn’t get into the genre category, had a lower critical reception to nearly all of the other major contenders and was essentially forgotten about this year. Completely random nomination and mostly undeserved in my opinion.

At least the Grammy’s can blame the pandemic when no watches this year. The ratings are going to be abysmal. The press reaction is already brutal and the award show is just losing its prestige even more: https://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=324180&title=PRESS-REACTION-TO-GRAMMY-NOMS%253A-WTF%253F

I’m not surprised, they’ve majorly fucked up. The Grammys have always faced controversy for their dumb choices but the snub of Blinding Lights/Abel in general, combined with the political climate we’re in currently, it’s no surprise why they’re getting backlash for it. I can’t believe 6/8 AOTY nominees turned out to be white after the initial inclusion/diversity speech and the large amount of new voters they brought in.

Oh my god Harry fans are really some of the most miserable people like he just became a 3x Grammy nominee and you’re still like “I guess maybe he possibly has an ounce of a sip of industry support?? Maybe??” I get you’re scared of being harassed for believing in him but oh my god he 100%, without a doubt got rid of the stigma there is no question. With the crap they pulled in the pop categories he EASILY could have been snubbed, but he wasn’t!!!! Stop walking on eggshells, he is fine!!!!

Literally….none of us are doing that? I’m very content with his 3 nominations as his first big year in contention and considering the state of the GF, I’m happy with where he was nominated and the support he received. He clearly has left that stigma behind in the eyes of the industry which is great.

Harry is a dark horse in BPVA for me so I wouldn’t count him out. We’ll have to see.

I’d love to see it lol but I think considering both FN and folklore got in AOTY over Fine Line, to me it’s unlikely that he’d win in the category against both of them, but considering the craziness of the nominations this year I guess anything is possible.

Bey is the frontrunner imo but I wouldn’t be shocked at an Adore You upset (was I the only one predicting him for that category? Probably shouldn’t brag about prediction accuracy though, @ my 1/8)

My prediction accuracy wasn’t any better 💀I don’t think anyone could’ve anticipated the Abel snub tbh. Beyonce is obviously more loved within the Academy than Harry (this year alone proves that) so I presume she will win this too. It would be nice for Harry to win though considering the other two categories he’s nominated for seem to be between Dua vs Taylor.

To pretend that the Grammys don’t have a serious problem with selecting specific black artists to be their token diversity pick without ever rewarding them with the big awards is just pure ignorance at this point. There have been multiple examples of this in practice.

Anyway, the VMAs were clearly not the precursor to BMV that y’all claimed so I’m curious as to who will win this year:

Brown Skin Girl – Beyoncé
Life Is Good – Future Featuring Drake
Lockdown – Anderson .Paak
Adore You – Harry Styles
Goliath – Woodkid

Again, we don’t claim moriahface as part of Harry’s fandom and if anything it seems like a troll trying to bait Swifties into arguing with them, just put them on ignore.

Nope! I’m talking about Fiona, Brittany, and Abel actually. I’m elated about Harry!

Can you not make Harry fans look insane for once while we actually celebrate the nominations he got?

LMAO The fact that you stalk my other social media accounts is funnier than stan twitter’s own post.

I didn’t “stalk” your other social media, it was a tweet that made the rounds in Harry’s fandom on Twitter because it was a disgusting thing to say and you were called out for it. No matter how much you may dislike an artist or an album, wishing ill on a celebrity and hoping they die soon is a horrible thing to do.

For stanning one of the most successful musicians of all time, Swifties are painfully insecure about any other artist doing well or having stans root for other artists. A Swiftie who posts regularly on this forum (the user @breathe) on their Twitter account agreed with a tweet saying that they hoped Harry would join the 27 club soon, which tells you everything you need to know about what sort of people are on this site.

The fact is neither Taylor or Harry are going to win AOTY so this discussion (when this is supposed to be just the AOTY thread) is essentially solely based on discrediting Harry’s success, along with discussing his sexuality and his fanbase which has been going on for months now in this forum for no logical reason.

How’s 3.5m sales monumental? 2x Platinum? 7 weeks in the top 10? Seriously? Those are not smash hits. Like I said but I guess you didn’t read, I’m talking about ‘Billie’ level of success.

The biggest albums of this year are all around that level so I don’t know where you got that 3.5m+ WW (which is most likely a conservative estimate from Mediatraffic as the source) isn’t impressive? FN – around 1.5m in the last update I checked, folklore, 2.2m, Chromatica – 1.8m etc

7 weeks in the top 10 and 31 weeks in the top 20, the second song to chart every week this year after Blinding Lights, 2x platinum as the last certification when it’s eligible for further platinum certifications etc. Literally nobody is predicting Harry to do a Billie sweep so I have no idea why you’re bringing that up.
