Daily reminder that both Norman Fucking Rockwell and Western Stars will get nominated for AOTY. Thank you

You can stop posting this all the time because not only is it annoying, but Bruce Springsteen is NOT happening.

Rosalía’s album has not had the commercial success needed to make her an AOTY contender. Almost every critics’ pick that’s gotten in has sold at least decently. El Mal Querer has not even charted on the Billboard 200.

Still, even if it gets snubbed, it’s way more likely than Lover and Girl.

It’s one of these cases where you should predict it. Could it be snubbed? Sure, but there’s a good chance it isn’t. A snub would be a in the vein of recent snubs to Ed Sheeran and Justin Timberlake – a way for the artist not to win AOTY.

Justin may not have necessarily won AOTY, especially since he didn’t win Pop Album. And there was no real reason to keep him from winning like there was with Ed Sheeran.

Justin was most likely shut out because of his decision to enter the “complete experience” version of the album, since the second album was critically panned and an underperformance.

Paul Grein calling Lover and Girl locks while dismissing A Star Is Born completely. The clownery.

So You Need To Calm Down is technically proficient and/or socially relevant but Thank U Next is not?

Socially relevant? Yes. The pride theme is the kind of thing they look for – videos with meaning (“I’m Not Racist,” “1-800,” “Love the Way You Lie,” etc.).

“You Need to Calm Down” also had 3 technical nominations at the VMAs vs. “Thank U Next”‘s 2.

Best Music Video:

Billie Eilish – “When the Party’s Over”
FKA Twigs – “Cellophane”
John Legend – “Preach”
Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus – “Old Town Road”
Taylor Swift – “You Need to Calm Down”

Maybe? I’m usually not great at predicting this category’s nominees. “Old Town Road” and “When the Party’s Over” should easily get in.

It’s delusion to think that Ariana will miss in Best Music Video.

No, it’s not. The Grammys prefer technically proficient and/or socially relevant videos, not MTV fare.

Lorde was a recent SOTY winner, yet Lana Del Rey still got more votes than her in Pop Album in 2018.

Lana definitely has a shot at an AOTY nomination.

No way. Norah Jones completely swept that year including beating Mayer for New Artist.

Curious why all of you are saying Christina Aguilera would have won in 2004 and 2007 when she lost Pop Vocal Album to the Male Pop Vocal Performance winner both of those years.
