what are the chances of Rina in BNA & possibly AOTY? Her album has had an insane amount of acclaim and hype within some circles. As unfortunate as the Mercury situation was, it put her name in the headlines for the first time (similar to the Lil Nas Billboard situation). I think she could definitely get into BNA and I would kill to see her in AOTY. Thoughts?

I really think Taylor has a good shot at AOTY. The Weeknd doesn’t have anywhere near a big enough album to win based on commercial achievement. Lil Baby’s album spent as long at #1 as he did & the album had only one remotely memorable hit. folklore was completely unexpected and is smashing in every possible way. It might not have a smash hit like The Weeknd but if it does standard Taylor number numbers, it will do better as an album than After Hours. and let’s not forget about its universal acclaim.

Confused as to why Pose is not predicted across the board. The second season was just as well received as the first, and I found it to be much better (mostly due to them getting rid of the unnecessary Evan Peters story arc). This season was purely brilliant and was one of the best second seasons of a show I have seen. MJ Rodriguez is absolutely stunning as Blanca and it would be historic for her to get nominated. I’m also not sure why most are not predicting Billy Porter to get at least a nomination for the same role he won for last year. I know lots of other shows have more “hype” but I really think Pose is worthy of many nominations again.

I wish Manic had a bigger post-album hit that would have kept it relevant enough for a nomination at least. Without Me was snubbed last year in Pop Solo even though it was one of the biggest hits of the year (and a great song). Manic was really an impressive album, and could have been a big contender if only You should be sad had become a bigger hit. Now she just has no buzz.

Well the same as Lizzo… I think Liz had more. She had 13 from her first album, 12 from her second album, and 14 from her third album, if you consider it to be the deluxe. Plus she had two EPs. Honestly I think Melanie is eligible. You see for me I don’t look into the amount of tracks that they have… I’ll look into the albums that they released. Of course if they have made over 30 singles then I will consider them not to be nominated. Also, I hate that people are saying Roddy Ricch or Harry Styles can be nominated for BNA. It’s just doesn’t make any sense… Roddy Ricch has already been nominated and won some Grammys. And Harry Styles was part of a musical group called One Direction. This is the same reason why he couldn’t be nominated when he released his first album.
With that here are my BNA predictions:

• Doja Cat
• Megan Thee Stallion
• Summer Walker
• Rina Sawayama
• Joji
• Some group that has been around in the music industry that I haven’t heard about
• Some group that has been around in the music industry that I haven’t heard about
• Maybe Melanie or Conan Gray or someone who’s going to break through during the summer

If you consider last year, the most popular artists were Lizzo, Lil Nas X, and Billie Eilish. This year it is Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, and maybe Summer Walker. Rosalía was the foreign artist for last year. Rina Sawayama will take her place this year. Maybe Conan Gray could be the Maggie Rogers of this year.

How is Rina “foreign”? She’s British. Just bc she’s ethnically Asian doesn’t mean she’s “foreign”

All shade all tea sweetie! He is not gonna be nominated in a million years. Melanie Martinez will be a non-factor whatsoever.

Melanie has a definite shot at Music Film and honestly could make BNA in such a weak year.

I would love a Don’t Call Me Angel nomination for Lana’s sake, but the song was simply not good and really underperformed.

But neither was Alessia Cara or Meghan Trainor at that point. Melanie received a ton of attention and acclaim for K-12 and I think this could be her consolation nomination, especially if she misses Music Film.

Random thought but why is there not a Best Pop Song category for the songwriters? Even rap has separate song/performance awards. I think it could be great to add a songwriting category within pop.

Pop Vocal Album
1. Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa
2. Fine Line by Harry Styles
3. Chromatica by Lady Gaga
4. Hollywood’s Bleeding by Post Malone
5. Manic by Halsey

Pop Solo Performance
1. Blinding Lights by The Weeknd
2. Don’t Start Now by Dua Lipa
3. Adore You by Harry Styles
4. everything i wanted by Billie Eilish
5. Circles by Post Malone
(alt. Lose You to Love Me by Selena Gomez)

Pop Duo/Group Performance
1. Good As Hell (Remix) by Lizzo & Ariana Grande
2. Say So by Doja Cat & Nicki Minaj
3. Stuck With U by Justin Bieber & Ariana Grande
4. Rain On Me by Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande
5. Memories by Maroon 5

It would be crazy but possible for Ariana to pull off 3 nominations in this category, especially considering how weak the year has been.

I saw somewhere on the forums that people thought Melanie Martinez and Harry Styles both have a shot at Best New Artist because neither have been nominated. While this is totally category fraud because both have been industry for 5+ years, they are both extremely hard working and talented artists. My current BNA predictions are:

1. Doja Cat
2. Megan Thee Stallion
3. Harry Styles
4. Melanie Martinez
5. Conan Gray
6. Joji
7. Summer Walker
8. Rina Sawayama

I also have Clairo and Ari Lennox right below, but I don’t think either one has the buzz.

“Daylight” by Taylor Swift (Lover)
“A World Alone” by Lorde (Pure Heroine)

is Taylor a credited producer? Because I don’t believe she is. Also is she eligible for that grammy at all?

She is not but I see the film winning.
