The next Grammy's will be again the best. We have Beyoncé, Gaga, Adele and some other artists performing. I mean Beyoncé, Gaga and Adele will def perform.
I know!!! I'm sooo excited!!! I need it to be February like soon or at least December so I can see the noms! The VMAs will tide me over til then!
So with only roughly 3 months left in the eligibility period and no room for any new artist to pop up and make an impact in the measly 3 months, who do you think stand a chance in BNA? We are 75% into the full period so the summer will be the deciding factor. All of the major releases have all come (exc. Beyonce - 4 and Wayne - Tha Carter IV who are sure to get R&B and Rap album nods) but where do the others fall?
Short list for some categories ( my picks) (not who I think the Grammys will go for but who I would like to see get some shine nonetheless)

Adele - Rolling In The Deep
Frank Ocean - Novacane
Kanye West - All Of The Lights

Week Ending June 12, 2011. Albums: The Tortoise & The Hare
This is the 10th week at #1 for Adele's album, which is the longest run by any album since Fearless had 11 weeks on top in 2008-2009. It's the longest run at #1 for an album by a British artist since George Michael's Faith logged 12 weeks on top in 1988. Both of those albums went on to win Grammys for Album of the Year. Adele is front-runner for the honor at next year's Grammys.
