I think that if MTV does what they did last year for Push Best New Artist, giving a whole range of artists and then narrowing the list down as the ceremony date gets closer, I can see the final three definitely being Olivia Rodrigo, The Kid LAROI & Polo G.

Well, it’s called a shortlist because of the possible categories. Yes, I know it won’t make both, but however, I am considering how some people consider the song as pop and others consider the song as R&B. Which is why I put the song in those categories of possibility, as a way to secure no possible shock if it gets nominated for a genre others…[Read more]

Okay, but why would you bring back Best Male and Best Female? It literally makes no sense. All that will do is exclude artists’ work who don’t identify as either gender. Having Artist of the Year as the category now works perfectly because that category is able to include anybody, and I mean anybody who has had an outstanding year and deserves to…[Read more]

I’m not good at predicting categories, but I’m good at potential shortlists, so I’ll do that

The Weeknd (2020 VOTY Winner)

• Video of the Year (Save Your Tears)
• Song of the Year (Save Your Tears)
• Artist of the Year
• Best Pop (Save Your Tears)
• Best R&B (Save Your Tears)
• Best Direction (Save Your Tears)
• Best Art Direction (Save Your…

Ride under Best Rock? Who’s that by?

Wikipedia describes it as dance pop, synthpop & pop rock, so I would assume Best Rock.

Side note, “everything i wanted” was a 2020 Video of the Year nomination last year.

Ehh, I wouldn’t count on “everything i wanted” being nominated for Video of the Year. That came out in December 2019, and Billie has put out “my future”, “Therefore I Am”, and “Your Power” since then, which are also great visuals. I personally think Your Power will be the best chance of a Billie video getting nominated for Video of the Year.…[Read more]

I do think that Olivia Rodrigo will get a video nomination for “drivers license”, most likely in Best Pop. I also really loved the “deja vu” music video, but I have a feeling it will get nominated for something professional, perhaps the cinematography.

Also, Nick Jonas had a very interesting video with “Spaceman”. Again, I don’t think that would…[Read more]

No, not 7 nominees for Artist of the Year. (although that would be entertaining) A shortlist is a list of potential awards one could possibly be up for. In this case, I thought that 7 of the artists, plus Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande, make that 9, had good cases for being nominated for Artist of the Year for one reason or another. Sometimes it can…[Read more]

You know, now that reminds me I forgot those two! Lemme just do them quickly, and then all of the big shortlists will be done:

Dua Lipa

• Artist of the Year
• Favorite Music Video (Don’t Start Now)
• Favorite Female Artist – Pop/Rock
• Favorite Album – Pop/Rock (Future Nostalgia)
• Favorite Song – Pop/Rock (Don’t Start Now/Physical)
• Favorite…

Just for fun, I like to compose a final shortlist of all the big artists expected to be nominated.

Taylor Swift

• Artist of the Year
• Favorite Music Video (Cardigan)
• Favorite Social Artist
• Favorite Female Artist – Pop/Rock
• Favorite Album – Pop/Rock (Folklore)
• Favorite Song – Pop/Rock (Cardigan)
• Favorite Artist – Adult…

It’s not necessarily based on the star power of the artist. It also depends on the dedication of the fanbase of the artist. Yes, ever since voting for the AMAs have come onto the fans in 2006, Taylor Swift has been the most rewarded of that era, which is basically all 29 awards. The 6 awards in which she did not win throughout the 14-year time…[Read more]

I’d say yes. Although Hot Girl Summer charted within the top 25 last year, Savage was the big breakthrough for Megan. She also has more press coverage than she had last year, so I would say that’s another reason why she would be up for New Artist of the Year. Remember, the category is for both artists that are fresh and new, and/or artists who…[Read more]

Okay, now that we are about 20 or so days away from the nominations coming out (I believe we’re gonna see them October 22nd), I think it’s time for a definite shortlist of those who may or may not be nominated for Artist of the Year:

• Taylor Swift
• Harry Styles
• The Weeknd
• Lady Gaga
• BTS
• Justin Bieber
• Drake
• BLACKPINK
• Post Malone

True, but there are still many people out there underestimating the fanbase that is BTS. There’s a reason I have them nominated for 3 categories in the Pop/Rock category instead of just one category and Favorite Social Artist (total of 4). Their impact on worldwide charts has been more explosive than ever, especially with Dynamite debuting at…[Read more]

Out of curiosity, which videos were rejected when you tried to enter the ids of them? We might be able to know which artists aren’t nominated this year that we could’ve thought they were.

Alright, so in terms of when the nominations will come out, last year the nominations were revealed exactly one month before the actual ceremony. This means that we can expect the nominees to be revealed sometime in late-October, preferably, October 22nd. (The ceremony is on November 22nd) Basically, if there are any songs or albums that came out…[Read more]

Hmm… can Suga technically count as part of the album category? Granted, it’s an EP, but I feel like at least one EP has been nominated before at the AMAs.
