Here comes the yearly fake submissions & everyone running to believe them…

There’s a page dedicated entirely to Ariana & Justin’s “Stuck With U”, while Justin’s page for himself makes no mention of “Intentions”, instead just promoting his album.

Post’s FYC is also Republic and says “11x Platinum Album”, it’s definitely adding up all the certifications across singles + album.

I think if we were to do Gold Derby Music Awards, we should use the real life Grammy submissions of artists.

Its far too tedious and time consuming to have a “submission stage” where users decide which songs they want to SUBMIT.

Using the real life submissions not only makes it easier and fairer for all the contenders, but will also be bet…[Read more]

The Weeknd can miss Pop Vocal if he submits there:

1. He doesn’t have the best history with Pop voters (has been snubbed with Starboy & I Feel It Coming)

2. Voters might not even be looking for his name on the list, as they expect him to be in R&B

3. He is the complete BOTTOM of the submissions list. The alphabet advantage is real as hell in…[Read more]

“Holy” is absolutely terrible.

However, I’m here for the trend of pop stars finally releasing albums yearly (or even in less than a year) that Ariana started and Taylor & now Justin are following.

Rappers have been doing it for decades and it worked out perfectly for them. In the streaming era no one has the time span for the traditional +2 ye…[Read more]

Someone had to say it!

I completely agree! I understand that the Grammys aren’t even remotely as prestigious as the Oscars and Emmys, but it’s still a respected EGOT.

As Boz said, the Grammys bring tons of traffic to this forum. The amount of times I see +2K liked tweets about where people’s “fave” place on GD’s Grammy odds is astonishing…[Read more]

Oh honey, Interscope is gonna copy & paste Billie’s campaign last year for Gaga.

I will NOT be surprised if she overperforms now.

Only the best pop album of all time, 1989.

Note: Every voter who opts in to receiving FYC packages will be sent a copy of this Billboard Magazine Issue…

Gaga somehow got herself onto the cover of Billboard’s Grammy Preview Issue.

Mind you, for the past 4 years the cover of that issue has been reserved for the year’s BNA contenders:

– Lizzo & LNX in 2019

– Dua Lipa, Post Malone & Ella Mai in 2018

– SZA, Khalid & Julia Michaels in 2017

– Chance The Rapper, Marren Morris and Alessia Cara in 201…[Read more]

I promise you no one cares.

I don’t think Drake and other rappers drinking/eating out of their Grammys is being disrespectful. It’s Hip-Hop culture, them bragging. It’s like they’re saying “here’s this massively respected and coveted award that millions want, and I just won it and don’t even care!”. They clearly care and value the award if they are bragging about how easil…[Read more]

Weaker in what sense?

1. Both albums spent more weeks Billboard 200’s Top 10: 26 weeks for BBTM, 19 for Starboy, 16 for After Hours

2. Both albums had more hits

3. Both albums had significantly more Urban radio support (only one After Hours single charted on Urban radio, compared to 5 for BBTM and 5 for Starboy).

Only thing After Hours w…[Read more]

Yes. Beautiful People was the song that the CEO was talking about.

For the millionth time, it wasn’t Shawn Mendes or anyone else that year because she wasn’t talking about that year. Ed Sheeran had no SOTY submissions the year Shawn got in (Perfect Duet was his only GF submission).

The CEO was talking about the year that just passed (Billie’s sweep). The Grammy Ceremonies years refer to the year the eligi…[Read more]

BTS should be deemed ineligible from BNA. They didn’t come to “prominence” this Grammy cycle.

They had #1 albums and a top 10 single last year. They’ve been winning awards & performing at American award shows for 3 years now. Hell, they even performed at the Grammys this past year.

The Grammys passed on them during their years where they were co…[Read more]

Post has the better selling album & singles. How on earth is Harry’s “era” bigger?

The reason why no local streaming service has been brought in yet is because they all have different definitions of what counts as a stream. Melon has a different definition than Xiami that has a different definition than Amazon Music, etc.

For now, it’s easier for Billboard to work with the companies they have been in touch with for y…[Read more]
