Good News is by Mac Miller. I think there will be a sympathy pick and it could be him or Demi. It was also a top 20 hit.
There have only been 2 posthumous nominations in the pop field in the last 10 years – Michael Jackson (2011) and Amy Winehouse (2012). Mac Miller isn’t on the level of either of those artists and doesn’t have the appeal to pop voters to do it.
Predicting that unknown song to get in over Selena Gomez’s #1 hit is wishful thinking at best, delusion at worst.
ReplyFebruary 18, 2020 at 10:48 am #1203350969It’s a track on Mac Miller’s posthumous album Circles.
Yeah, that’s not happening.

2. Circles
3. Adore You
4. Anyone/Good News
5. Dance MonkeyWhat is this song
and “Circles” is definitely ahead of “Don’t Start Now.” Post got a Pop Solo nomination over her in 2019 and “Circles” is a bigger hit.
“Dance Monkey” is also ahead of “Adore You” and “Anyone” for sure, if it’s eligible
ReplyFebruary 18, 2020 at 7:36 am #1203350669Pop voters have clearly established that they do not like her whatsoever.
Maybe a little bit of an overstatement. She’s never been truly undeniable so to suggest she’s been snubbed multiple times is inaccurate. The only real shocker with her is that Demi Lovato got a Pop Vocal Album nomination over her in 2017, and even then, there were several other candidates who could have taken that spot, like Meghan Trainor, Lukas Graham, One Direction, or Shawn Mendes.

Harry Styles – Fine Line [Rock?]February 17, 2020 at 9:22 am #1203349498If Adele is releasing in September, that’s most likely going to qualify for the upcoming Grammys. The deadline was shortened to August last year because the telecast was bumped up several weeks earlier. The last time the Grammy deadline ended in August, in 2009, it went back to September the following year.
ReplyFebruary 17, 2020 at 6:38 am #1203349368Gaga also won with a non-hit, so it’s not a guarantee that Post or Camila was ahead of Ariana or even Beck. Last year was just a weird year for the pop field.
We know why Gaga won, though. And that Beck song was filler.
ReplyFebruary 17, 2020 at 6:36 am #1203349362Skyfall was not submitted in the GF.
I think it was submitted to GF, just not Pop Solo. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
ReplyFebruary 16, 2020 at 9:42 am #1203348593That proves nothing. Lorde and Bruno Mars split Pop Solo and Pop Album in the same year. Lil Nas X, Portugal. The Man, and A Great Big World all won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance without Pop Vocal Album nominations (against artists who were nominated in the latter category, to boot).
“Better Now” and especially “Havana” were ubiquitous, and “God Is a Woman” was barely a blip on the radar. I have a hard time believing it would have won.
ReplyFebruary 16, 2020 at 9:01 am #1203348565She was absolutely filler in the general field this year, since Thank U, Next and “7 Rings” were never going to win there. The nominations were an acknowledgment of her success, but she never stood a chance. Just like Bieber and Purpose.
And I’m not so sure Ariana was the next in line for Pop Solo last year. Camila and Post Malone’s hits were MUCH bigger.
ReplyFebruary 16, 2020 at 8:51 am #1203348553she won 0/5 this year which is where she gained most of her losses but in no way was she a filler this year. it was always going to be between her and billie. had billie not had as much hype last year, ariana would’ve probably won 2 grammys for thank u next.
If it wasn’t Billie, it was going to be Lizzo, or Lil Nas X, or Vampire Weekend, depending on the category. Best Pop Vocal Album is the only category where Ariana would have been competitive without Billie and even then, Taylor Swift had a lot of momentum.
ReplyFebruary 15, 2020 at 4:40 pm #1203348093IIRC Justin Bieber didn’t submit anything the year Journals was released.
ReplyFebruary 15, 2020 at 3:23 pm #1203348016It annoys me how the screening panel will most likely push Changes to Pop when something like Cuz I Love You – which is way, way more pop – gets thrown into Urban Contemporary. They need to stop relegating black artists to R&B and stop pushing borderline cases into Pop.
I think Changes could actually get past the screening committee and compete in Urban Contemporary, but it may be in Justin’s best interest to submit the album to pop, because the chances of the R&B nominations committee putting him through are pretty slim, especially with those reviews.
ReplyFebruary 15, 2020 at 10:22 am #1203347756“Yummy” is not getting nominated in Pop Solo. It’s too polarizing, is already freefalling on the charts, and will be forgotten by the end of the year.
