RECORD OF THE YEAR:
Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, “Uptown Funk!”
Underestimate one of the biggest No. 1 songs ever, new wedding reception staple and unofficial Song of 2015 That Everyone Loves at your own risk.
Ed Sheeran, “Thinking Out Loud”
The Grammy darling performed the smash hit and likely nominee at last year’s ceremony, when his sophomore full-length x was up for album of the year.
The Weeknd, “Can’t Feel My Face”
The alternative crooner-turned-mainstream superstar topped the Hot 100 for the first time with his MJ-toasting dance hit. Max Martin’s slick production is hard to bet against here.
Taylor Swift, “Blank Space”
Speaking of Max Martin, look for the pristine electro-pop of “Blank Space,” combined with Taylor Swift’s wonderfully playful vocal take, to make the cut here.
Kanye West, Rihanna & Paul McCartney, “FourFiveSeconds”
As the world awaits the full-length returns of Kanye West and Rihanna, their offbeat, undeniable collaboration will be wildin’ at the 2016 Grammys, and bring Paul McCartney his first record of the year nomination since “Ebony and Ivory” in 1983.
Imagine RIH WINNING ROTY I will scream and die
I LIVE when someone I know sing Rih songs.
