HDD: 1989 Will win Grammy AOTY + Gen. Fields Predictions
Quote:
At the risk of getting ahead of ourselves, Swift has a good chance of winning for Album of the Year when the Grammys are presented on Feb. 15. That would make her the first female artist to win Album of the Year twice for her own albums. She first won for her sophomore album, Fearless. (Lauryn Hill, Alison Krauss and Norah Jones have each won Album of the Year twice, but only once, in each case, for their own albums.)

AOTY:
Quote:
In addition to 1989, likely nominees include Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly, D’Angelo’s Black Messiah, Kacey Musgraves’ Pageant Material and, to round out the field, a rock album, with the leading contenders for that fifth spot being Alabama Shakes’ Sound & Color, Florence + the Machine’s How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, Mumford & Sons’ Wilder Mind and Foo Fighters’ Sonic Highways.

ROTY:
Quote:
Assuming the exceptionally graceful “Thinking Out Loud” makes it through this minefield, what will it face? I think the rest of the field will consist of “Blank Space,” The Weeknd’s striking R&B ballad “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)” and two terrific, chart-topping collabos: “Uptown Funk!” by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars and “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth.

SOTY:
Quote:
“Thinking Out Loud,” “Earned It” and “See You Again” will probably also be nominated for this songwriter’s award. “Blank Space” also has a pretty good shot, but “Uptown Funk!” may be judged to be more of a record than a song. “Girl Crush” and “Honey, I’m Good” are prime candidates to replace the one or two Record of the Year finalists that come up short here.

BNA:
Quote:
Front-runners include Sam Hunt, Fifth Harmony, Rachel Platten, Tove Lo, Tinashe, Rae Sremmurd and the critically lauded James Bay and Elle King.
