Earlier in the year I definitely thought it was locked in. However, 25 may fill the "huge success, big singles, great promo, etc." slot that Purpose would've gotten. There have been so many big releases this year that they may "consolidate" their usual themes. Albums that check off multiple boxes will get priority:
25- Mainstream, huge sales, big hit, great promo
Lemonade- Mainstream, black artist/urban, big impact
David Bowie- Legend, deceased, rock
All three of these albums cover multiple bases which imo makes it harder for albums like Purpose to get nominated.
At the same time, because the AOTY nominees will overlap in some areas, it seems like it'll be easier for votes to get cancelled out
