Only 3 songs on After Hours are 80’s inspired.

How does Smile count towards album sales if it’s not part of the album?

Juice Wrld actually has 22 tracks on his album. And a few of them are interludes.

This is false.

Progressive R&B Album is his for sure,  but I see ROTY and Pop Solo as locks for him too. Blinding Lights just seem too big to fail. SOTY may be locked too: I don’t see who else can beat him unless Taylor comes out swinging with a massive single later. If he wins those 4 they may just give him the whole general field, like they did for Billie…[Read more]

I honestly don’t see how anyone expects fillers like My Oh My or Fall On Me to make it in over “exile”. not only did those songs have no longevity, but “exile” peaked higher too, without any promotion at all. In fact, it peaked one spot lower than Intentions with zero promotion. That’s crazy!

I doubt he’s doing it purely for attention, if that’s what you mean. But it certainly will help his chances.

Taylor will get Pop Duo for “exile” at least, and is still in the running for Pop Solo with “cardigan”. Even if neither song is a huge hit, Taylor can still win Pop Vocal as long as her album remains on top in acclaim and sales.

I agree not to underestimate Dua. She’s likely 2nd place right now because of acclaim and passion. Now, if her remix…[Read more]

He’s donated $2.15 Million in two months.

I was joking before, but honestly The Weeknd’s philanthropy is so far above anyone else this year it’s insane!

For the last time, Harry won’t win Pop Vocal Album. He’s 4th place at best. Dua will be 2nd place if her remix album is a huge success: if not, Post Malone will be 2nd place. Post and Taylor still have every advantage over Harry.

Here’s some from movies I’ve seen

Michael B. Jordan in Black Panther

Everyone from Parasite

Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult in Mad Max Fury Road

Allison Williams, Bradley Whitford, and/or Catharine Keener in Get Out

John David Washington in BlackkKlansman

Christian Bale in Ford V Ferrari

Also, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won’t be double nominated: they’re not at John Williams/Hans Zimmer/Thomas Newman status yet. Soul’s nomination ceiling is Best Animated Feature and Best Original Screenplay, and the latter will only happen if the film reviews as well as Inside Out or better.

I think it could get an editing nom again. Probably not score, since that was one of the main complaints a lot of people had with the film (even though I really liked it).

I still don’t think Everything I Wanted makes it in. It’s already been mostly forgotten (she’s lucky the VMA’s didn’t forget) and by the time voting starts it will be completely forgotten. Plus, Pop Solo voters snubbed her last year, so I don’t think they like her enough to give her a filler nom.

If “cardigan” doesn’t make it in than the 5th…[Read more]

All of this. Plus, have you seen how hard The Weeknd is campaigning? His campaign this year has been like Taylor’s campaigns in the past, while Taylor herself doesn’t seem to care as much about the Grammy’s this time around. Maybe it’s because she knows a win will be problematic, or maybe, just maybe, when she said in Miss Americana she didn’t…[Read more]

I was talking about the 80’s trilogy specifically (Blinding Lights, In Your Eyes, and Save Your Tears). Those songs are more like 80’s disco pop. The rest of After Hours is dark synth with a mix of R&B, Rap, and Pop influences.

Yeah, the new Miley song is pretty solid. Definitely surfing the trend of 80’s disco pop that Dua and The Weeknd brought back, but there’s nothing wrong with that.

Blinding Lights and Smile are the only good songs in the Top 10 this week. Ugh.

I’m pretty sure Pop singers can’t be nominated in Dance/Electronic cateogories anymore unless they collaborate with a DJ.
