 Yeah. "Critically acclaimed" yet here we are.
If the song had been an actual smash, a multi-week number one maybe, it wouldn't have been ignored. Just look at the recent history of the Grammys. The singles from "main pop girls" that get nominated tend to be the ones that perform undeniably well on the charts, so they can't be overlooked. There may be outliers here and there but that's really just how the chips fall.
