BPVA: Folklore
BPDG: Exile
BSFVM: NTTD
Progressive R&B: Chilombo (I had CXH briefly but that was just me being a delusional stan. The most successful album always wins here and Chilombo is basically the only successful nominee so.)
BCDG: 10 000 hours (BARF! at justin having a locked win)

I think that’s about it

Bieber didn’t have any case for his noms, not much commercial success and the music was panned by the critics. 

The following albums scored less then 65 on metacritic and were less sucessful than Changes

1. No. 6 Collaborations Project
2. Beautiful Trauma
3. Kaleidoscope EP
4. Before This World
5. Ghost Stories

All got nominated for BPVA because voters go for the artists they like at the end of the day. JB didn’t do anything besides be early on the ballot and be in the top 5 for most votes.

Best Pop Solo Performance

I have the same top 2 for all these but the opposite order.

In other news, I’m back to thinking Billie is going 4/4. It’s really tight between her and Dua for all their categories though so I’ll probably change those predictions a billion times between now and awards night.

Opinion #1: If nominations where tomorrow, Ariana would be nominated across the board in the GF, Pop, and even get a nod for BMV and possibly R&B. She would take Pop Solo if noms were tomorrow while BPVA would be between her and Evermore

opinion #2: Positions is the only commerical juggernaut so far almost 4 months into the eligibility period

opinion#3: Ariana is a lock for Pop Group/Duo (be it for 34+35, Motive, or potential Bieber collab), Pop Solo, and Pop Album, with other potential submissions and nominations in R&B for off the table, BMV for positions, and some GF noms

Sorry I don’t agree with any of this.

Positions is not happening in R&B or BMV point blank period. GF is absolutely possible whether or not the Ariana haters will admit this. It is still more likely that she misses GF

Evermores doing just as well so.

No one is a lock for anything 4 months into eligibility. We don’t know what collabs will drop. I am leaning towards 34 35 in BPDG but it’s way too early to call anything a lock

Positions will probably get Ariana her usual pop nominations, but with a bunch of notable releases and curveballs coming, I wouldn’t necessarily bet a whole lot of love in the general field. It’s nice to try to use the Coldplay comparison, but they were curveballs that no one really predicted. Ariana wouldn’t be that.

I agree with this. Ultimately it is a step down from Thank U Next and that will hold her back from the general field.

Why does BPVA feel so dead currently? Evermore and Positions are no-brainers but what else? Maybe Chemtrails? Lana is 50/50 in this category so who knows. (BTW Only talking abt albums that are already released/confirmed to be dropping this year because honestly, I don’t think Adele and all these other artists that are rumored are actually dropping)

Coldplay must be absolutely shocked to learn that it is impossible for pop albums with a 72 on metacritic to get into the gf.

FKA Twigs has been done so dirty

Both LP1 and Magdalene deserved a Best Alt Album nomination. At least Alt Album this year is going to FTBC, Punisher or Jamie all of which are really great albums. Magdalene still deserves a nomination over the boring Beck album.

She should’ve won BNA in 2016. She wasn’t even nominated and Meghan Trainor winning is a joke.

Also Cellophane deserved BMV last year. This is a masterpiece, I’m sorry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkLjqFpBh84

Is there any way to verify that Bang! hasn’t been submitted yet?

Anyways, I think a lot of y’all need to check callouts. Bang! has the highest positive reactions and the lowest negative reactions. This has already smashed on alt and rock radio. If this smashes on pop radio, like the callouts suggest it will, this is definitely a contender for a nom. And I say this as the #1 Bang! hater.
