Last year saw the same song take home both Record and Song of the Year at the Grammys. It was too hard to ignore the cultural and commercial significance of a song like This Is America for voters, but this year there isn’t an equivalent favourite.

Grammys 2019: Nomination Predictions – Album of the Year
There’s less than a month to go until the nominations for the 2019 Grammys are revealed and I have just one more of the general field categories to cover. While the expansion of nominees to 8 means a lot for the likes of Best New Artist, for Album of the Year it could mean even … Continue reading

Always the most frustrating genre to predict for the Grammy Awards thanks to the bafflingly long build up time most Country records have on radio. There’s a song that has only just reached #1 on the Country Airplay chart, but was released BEFORE the eligibility period for the 2018 Grammy Awards. Despite this, there are … Continue reading
Grammy Awards 2016: Who Should Win Album of the Year?
All 5 albums nominated are deserving in different ways and while some I hadn’t listened to before today I think the 2016 nominees is one of the strongest lists we have seen in a long time. There’s one or two big favourites in there, but it really could go anywhere this year. Continue reading
