Grammy Awards 2018: Nomination Predictions – Pop

Posted on October 9, 2017 by Sam Atkins • Leave a comment

The question in the Pop categories at the Grammy Awards is always one of eligibility. Which songs and albums will be submitted into genre specific categories when you have the likes of The Weeknd, DJ Khaled and Calvin Harris edging the lines into the pop categories, a factor that’s even more prevalent in 2017 with a … Continue reading →

Grammy Awards 2016: Who Should Win Album of the Year?

Posted on February 5, 2016 by Sam Atkins • Leave a comment

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 →

Grammy Awards 2016: Who should win Record/Song of the Year?

Posted on January 28, 2016 by Sam Atkins • Leave a comment

  It’s nearly Frebruary and yet the Grammy Awards are still nearly 3 weeks away. The latest they have been in the schedule for a long time, it gives me some time to delve into the big nominees and see who is most likely to be smiling once the night arrives. I’ll be listening to some … Continue reading →

Grammy Awards 2016 Nomination Predictions – Album of the Year

Posted on November 18, 2015 by Sam Atkins • 2 Comments

First off we have the biggest early favourite, of course Taylor Swift’s 1989. It’s crazy to think back to 2 years ago when I was saying the exact same thing about her Red album, which looked like the obvious choice for this award in 2014. Continue reading →

Grammy Awards 2016 Nomination Predictions – Record of the Year

Posted on November 4, 2015 by Sam Atkins • Leave a comment

Of course there’s some crossover with the Song of the Year category, I can’t think of a year when most of the songs haven’t been in both categories. The 3 crossover songs here are the ones I’m most confident about, specifically Uptown Funk, Can’t Feel My Face and Girl Crush. Continue reading →

Grammy Awards 2016 Nomination Predictions – Song of the Year

Posted on October 22, 2015 by Sam Atkins • 1 Comment

An interesting mix of songs for the main two categories this year and some omissions in my choices that may seem surprising. My picks lean heavily towards the Pop/RnB side of things, with one obvious outlier. Continue reading →

10) Sleigh Bells – Bitter Rivals I feel like a broken record when it comes to Sleigh Bells who make their third appearance in one of my top 10 albums of the year lists. Bitter Rivals is the record the duo have been edging towards since they debuted back in 2010. Treats was a raucous … Continue reading →
