If Billie, Taylor, and Ariana get into AOTY they’re all gonna lose. I think there’s a solid chance they all will too. All critically acclaimed and popular with Lover having the convenience of being new and fresh on the voters’ minds.
August 26, 2019 at 2:19 pm #1203040958Rihanna is the best-selling singer this decade in the US and around the world. RIHANNA HAS MORE SALES IN THE US THAN TAYLOR IN OFFICIAL CERTIFICATES, IT HAS 204 MILLION, WHILE TAYLOR HAS 175 MILLION
I don’t think you get it. It’s more about chart consistency and positions than sales. Taylor likely is gonna beat Rihanna due to immensely better album performance and solid single performance.

2. Taylor Swift
3. Rihanna
4. Adele

Song of the Summer: BoyfriendAugust 24, 2019 at 12:25 pm #1203037896Taylor is only named when she sells a lot and Lover is not selling like Red, Fearless and 1989. We have already had examples of Taylor albums that were highly acclaimed and didn’t make it to big4 (Speak Now)
Lover is likely to sell over 850k~ copies and it has big momentum moving into voting season. Something Speak Now and reputation could not say. reputation was a cathartic album, it was misunderstood and that was Taylor’s own fault for trying to make it something that it wasn’t. Lover is very unproblematic and easy to listen too. Do I think it’ll win? No way, TOOL is winning that (their album has a 100 on Meta and is coming out on deadline). But if she gets in, it’ll be something to celebrate nonetheless. Maybe even a win for Soon You’ll Get Better which should be getting submitted for country Grammys.

When Speak Now came out not even fans were jiving with it as much. It was meant to be melodramatic and theatre-y. I think it’s one of the best self written female albums of all time but that’s besides the point. There’s 8 slots. I think Lover has a small chance to enter it. Maybe even over tun. Lover has momentum going into the voting season, something that really helped Sweetener.
August 24, 2019 at 12:21 pm #1203037882the 2021 grammy will be strong. Adele, Gaga, Beyonce, Lord, Kendrick. it will be a much better year
So Adele winning every award again.

I put in a lot that likely won’t be nominated but this is a crowded field. ME!, Boyfriend, and I Don’t Care are not getting in but I’m just making my predictions safer.
August 24, 2019 at 12:10 pm #1203037865I’ll be really impressed if Taylor pulls another 1M+ debut… We’ll see. If she does, there’ll be no question that this album is a success even by her standards.
She broke the Target record that was held by reputation. She likely sold 150-200k~ at Target last time so I assume something like 300k~ is just from physical copies in its opening day. iTunes is likely anywhere between 90-200k. I think first day sales with everything accounted for will be 450-600k~. reputation did 700k but that was a front loaded album.
ReplyAugust 24, 2019 at 12:03 pm #1203037853Taylor Swift is a lock. Lover is receiving mostly glowing reviews. The Guardian’s only complaint was that it was too long. Album is generating buzz, doing great in streaming, and is on track to have a huge debut (could even reach 1M.)
August 24, 2019 at 12:01 pm #1203037849Honey I love taytay, u can see by my pic, but the queen doesn’t have Gaga vocals talent and Taylor didnt reinvented pop music like Gaga with the TF
TF reinvented pop music? Madonna did the same thing with similar aesthetics dinosaur ages prior. I Love miss Gaga but let’s not act like she didn’t just rip Madonna’s style and flip it. Also vocals don’t determine your star status.
ReplyAugust 24, 2019 at 11:59 am #1203037842Lover is a GREAT album
Wait… That’s not an unpopular opinion.
ReplyAugust 24, 2019 at 11:51 am #12030378359/10 of the songs on Lover made a top 10 jump in Spotify US. Album in it’s entirety hit 29M~ in streams today. Only 2M less than the top female debut. Likely sold 40-50k~ in streaming sales today. With 400k+ probably coming from physical and digital copies. Songs are still rising on Apple Music but 6 are in the top 10 right now. YNTCD and Lover could also possibly jump into the top 10 on the Hot 100 next week due to considerable jumps in sales, streams, and airplay.
