Hmmm…. should we expect “Rain on Me” or “Lockdown” (that’s actually more relatable) on the GF given the Covid and togetherness context?

I assume none of them

Which (and how many) songs do you think will repeat in both categories? In the last years we had:

2020: 3/8
2019: 6/8
2018: 1/5 (but 3/5 artists)
2017: 3/5
2016: 3/5

I know maybe I’m trying to find a pattern that simply doesn’t exist, but I’m currently predicting 4 to repeat (Blinding Lights, I Can’t Breathe, Circles and Shameika)

I never heard SWU but I’d love if it got in instead of ROM because it has zero chances of winning

Which ones do you think will be the WTF nominations in the Pop Field this year?

I Dare You for Pop Solo Perf.

Goodbyes or Fall On Me for Pop Duo/Group.

For PVA I think there’s little to no space for surprises, but I guess we’ll see.

Isn’t Goodbyes too old for people to remember to vote on it?

It is old,  I’m betting on it anyways for now. But I might switch that 5th spot for something else in the next days, maybe even Fall On Me.

I could be wrong but I think by the final vote they won’t consider Post, The Weeknd, or Taylor’s works pop enough. 

A full case could be made about the last two albums that won not being “pure pop” albums.

I don’t think we should completely ignore Kelly Clarkson though, as long as I don’t want to admit it.

I doubt she’s making it in off an album track that’s barely a single […]

She did it with Breathe

[…] or a single with mediocre performance (for someone like Taylor).

Though I’m not predicting cardigan to make it, You Need To Calm Down had a mediocre performance too and almost no one thought it would be nominated.

I also think it’s very likely that she’s the only artist to get into all three pop categories.

I’m currently thinking that The Weeknd is most likely to do it

I think Future Nostalgia and Hollywood’s Bleeding will each be nominated in either PVA or AOTY, but not the two of them. Right now I’ll go with Post in AOTY and Dua in PVA, but I won’t discard the other option.
