No chance of this happening. Bad Guy was like #3 Y.E.C and Everything I Wanted was #18 despite being a standalone single.

I can’t see any of the Billie new song even making the top 50.

From most to least likely at the moment:
1. Olivia Rodriguez
2. Ariana Grande
3. Justin Bieber
4. Billie Eilish
5. Taylor Swift

If Ed releases a successful album this cycle, he’ll probably displace Taylor.

The new Ed Sheeran song sounds like something radios will eat up. I think he may be competitive in the pop categories.

There is no way Ariana will miss this year lol. She has a very consistent record in the pop categories. The only one who may be ahead of her is Olivia.

Who I think could miss: Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift.

All of these singles released so far from Billie’s new album don’t feel single-worthy. She needs something stronger if she wants longevity with this era. So far, I don’t think this is going to be her year at the Grammy’s.

Everything I Wanted was really a great song with longevity. However this new Billie era feels a bit underwhelming so far. I don’t think she’s a lock to win anything. Ariana and Olivia are looking stronger at the moment.

The only one who can stop Olivia at this point is Adele. I think she could sweep like Billie.

Gaga sure has a great track record in Pop categories, but that doesn’t mean ROM won solely because of her. After all, Ariana is also well-liked by the voters, at least to consistently receive nominations. And if we’re being honest, Ariana mainly lost her awards because of tough competition. She lost to Adele in 2017, Gaga in 2019 and Billie in…[Read more]

If 2021 proved anything is that the music industry still cares too much about the Grammy’s. Despite all of the controversy from snubs, not a single artist snubbed the show. Even Beyoncé showed up which was a shocker to me.

Dua Lipa and The Weeknd really achieved quite a rare feat. We rarely see this type of multi-year spanning eras these days. The Weeknd had 3 #1 hits one year apart each from the same album.

I based it on wins/nominations in categories without committees. I think all of those 8 nominees managed to show they have some support (except The Weeknd which is more of a special case). Not too sure about HB though. Maybe it made the top 8.

What do you guys think the straight vote was last year? I think it’s probably something like this:

Taylor Swift – Folklore
Fiona Apple – Fetch The Bolt Cutters
Dua Lipa – Future Nostalagia
Harry Styles – Fine Line
Lady Gaga – Chromatica
The Weeknd – After Hours
Brittany Howard – Jaime
Miranda Lambert – Wildcard

And yes I don’t think The Weeknd…[Read more]

Save Your Tears is expected to go #1 tomorrow. I really hope that it’ll be submitted. That remix is very good and could make a great GF contender as well.

Album of the Year predictions based on the recent development:

Silk Sonic (An Evening with Silk Sonic)
Megan Thee Stallion (Good News)
Ariana Grande (Positions)
Billie Eilish (Happier Than Ever)
Justin Bieber (Justice)
Olivia Rodrigo (SOUR)
Morgan Wallen (Dangerous)
Chris Stapleton (Starting Over)

I really hope Morgan is shut out. But his…[Read more]

Not sure why people are jumping to conclusions about Taylor being nominated every year. She’s really not that liked by the Grammy’s. We expected her to win 3-4 Grammy’s but she won only 1. I’m not even sure that Evermore will make the top 8. It could get in Pop but I kinda doubt it too especially if there are stronger releases. We already have 4…[Read more]

Ariana should be a shoo-in in AOTY now that they removed the committee. Same with Justin Bieber I think. His album did quite well and Peaches is a big hit.

If they want to do this, they need to at least add a rule that allows them to disqualify artists who engage in conduct antithetical to the Academy’s “values”. I do not want to see Morgan Wallen for example in the General Field. And it’s now likely to happen because there isn’t a committee.

So it’s official? It’s reported that they voted to disband these committees.

I think this will help certain artists but harm others.

I mean it’s a song about sexual assault and a minor being sexually exploited. Did people really think it was going to be upbeat or something? I can see it in SOTY already.

Save Your Tears remix is very good. Ariana killed it. But it will sadly not be submitted to the Grammy’s if The Weeknd keeps his word.
