My thoughts:


Twenty One Pilots
Alessia Cara
DNCE (if they release an album before november)
Maren Moris
Desiigner

Jessie J

Alessia Cara should be nominated and should win.

Bryson Tiller.

Dua Lipa

+ Kent Jones
Zara Larsson

there really isn't any good one's

Twenty One Pilots really deserve it but I don't think they're eligible since they have more than one album?

Twenty One Pilots
Shawn Mendes
Troye Sivan
Marren Morris
Alessia Cara

Ruth B
Cam
The Chainsmokers
Lukas Graham
Shawn Hook
Josef Salvat

I'm pretty sure that The 1975 are eligible, too.
I don't think DNCE can be nominated since Joe was nominated as Jonas Brothers.
Zayn probably isn't eligible because One Direction's material counts.

Idk. I feel like there haven't been many particularly noteworthy breakout acts in the mainstream this year.
IDEK who's new in rap / urban.

This could be one of those years where they nominate people like Esperanza Spalding tbh.

But with the new rule an artist can be nominated if he/she have less than 3 albuns

Haven't 21 pilots been around for ages
I can't really think of anyone

oh I didn't know that thanks!

Hoping TOP get a nom and hopefully a win!

We're thinking of all pop acts but since there aren't many options they'll probably defer to alternative and country for the majority of the nominees.

Personally, I'd like Alessia Cara to win because I prefer her music but in reality it either would be twenty one pilots or Desiigner; they have bigger hits.
