GENERAL FIELD

I'm experimenting this year with a new process to determine the general field nominees. A blue ribbon panel of diverse ATRL tastemakers will select the final list from among the top voter submissions, mirroring the Recording Academy's own rules for the Grammys.

For the sake of transparency, I'm sharing below the longlists that they received. The blue ribbon panel this year includes Ace Reject, Achilles., alexanderao, @michael, Bloomers, lovesong, madonnas, Patrick, Red and V3$$3L.

Which way is your way? Or are you snubbing both for Wildest Dreams? Or are you nominating both?

[enxe]

That's a good panel.

[supaspaz]

I tried to get fans of different genres, a mix of older and new members, and some people who didn't send in submissions for the panel. Can't wait to see what they come up with!

[Temporal]

The Blue Ribbon panel better be filled with CRJ stans.

[Poe Dameron]

Cry Baby making the longlist for AOTY

Cool For The Summer being in the ROTY longlist

[gagacasanova]

The panel better vote for Love Me Like You Do if they know what is good for them.

[DevonDreams]

Demi

[Witch Privilege]

Didn't really know who to vote for in Country, so I just stanned for Carrie, Kacey, and Miranda.

Also, don't vote for Jack Antonoff for producer. He's an ass that tries to steal writing credits.

just sent

the pop duo/group category is an utter mess. it's disgustingly bad.

idk why the azealia song to be picking up nominations is ice princess, and likewise for kendrick these walls should be sweeping - but it's nice he's picking up nominations elsewhere.

the producer of the year category was surprisingly good.

[minho]

Dumb Dumb is the only acceptable winner for Pop Duo tbh

I assume it's because HM&R and CT were released a few weeks before the eligibility period so Ice Princess is her only eligible single. That's why I submitted it at least!
