She already has done the Avril Lavigne Pop-Rock thing imo (and did it better).

It’s different pretty much every year.

Sales for her only get updated when they are from official sources like Billboard and Nielsen. Otherwise, the edits get undone and reverted back.

Agreed, every genre especially Pop, should have a committee.
Also, there should be some sort of requirement in regards to voting. I don’t know how they can force someone to listen to more than a snippet, but there should be a way to force voters to vote especially when it can be done online. It makes no sense that say 500 total voters vote in…[Read more]

The Oscars don’t reveal the shortlist for every category. Not to dismiss the categories they revealed last year, but none of them were Best Picture, Director, Screenplay, Actress/Actor (Lead and Supporting) so does the GP really care about the shortlist for Best Visual Effects…my guess is no.

And why would it even matter when you listened to those songs/albums anyway? Your (and anyone’s) fav and least fav shouldn’t have anything to do with when they were listened to. Some posters here smh.

Whatever reaches the BRP and does not get nominated is intentionally stopped, so I wouldn’t say he has virtually no chance.

Other than Kelly Clarkson (2x, 2006 and 2013) you have to go back to 2000 when an artist not nominated in AOTY, took Pop Album over an AOTY nominee (Sting won, BSB nominated in both PVA/AOTY).

Can we see Harry, Gaga or Bieber take it over Dua/Taylor… hard to say. I’m pulling for folklore over Future Nostalgia, but if it’s going to be one of the…[Read more]

Nope, unfortunately she didn’t. 51% of the lyrics were not new.

That is a fantastic attitude to have.

Curious how Jhene has no shot. That girl is going to get the rap and R&B support. Not to mention her album is the third highest selling album of the bunch.

He is, yes.

I’m a fan but no, not everyone is in agreement.

Jhene Aiko shouldn’t be random, the woman has a soon to be Platinum album nominated. She also has more than R&B support. Look at who she’s worked with.
I don’t get the GP comments. The GP doesn’t get a say on these awards. The industry would be well enough aware of both Jacob Collier and Black Pumas.

It won’t go top 3 unless there is a boatload of pure album sales not counted in the latest prediction. Top 5 is the safe bet.

I think it’ll trend higher sps wise, as well. Between the Disney release and the grammy noms, it certainly will help the streaming numbers. Not sure about positioning, 5th is certainly possible.

1,859,000. According to HDD this current week will add approx another 35,000 to that total.

Rap wasn’t strong critically or commercially?

So keep the genre committees, which are not the BRP. I wasn’t really too serious, although shrinking the amount of awards and making it a true best of the best would add more prestige imo.

Get rid of the BRP and the current GF process altogether. Have every album, performance and song winner from each genre compete for best album, record and song.
Would that be better?
