My AOTY predictions
I’d like to start this off with this is what I predict will be nominated and win not what I necessarily want to win. If I don’t predict an album as getting a nom it does not mean I dislike it, just means I don’t predict it to be nominated.
AOTY
LUX- Rosalia ( maybe a unpopular opinion but this album performed the best critically and did well commercially alongside the tour)
- YSPSFAGSIL- Olivia Rodrigo ( definitely a top contender)
AM I THE DRAMA? - Cardi B ( also a unpopular opinion but did super well commercially and I think it’s unrealistic to assume all the noms will be pop)
THIS MUSIC MAY CONTAIN HOPE - RAYE ( although not the biggest here commercially or critically WIMH did well as a hit single and the album created buzz)
Dandelion- Ella Langley ( album performed well and Choosin’ Texas performed very well on the charts and overall a succesful country album)
The Art of Loving - Olivia Dean ( I could one hundred percent see this winning it seems to be the “ safest” option carried with critical acclaim commercial success and a lead single )
The Romantic - Bruno Mars ( Huge name. Easy nom definitely will not win. )
The Great Divide - Noah Kahan ( Maybe a bit obscure pick but an overall good album and adds diversity to the list)
Maybes:
TLOASG- Taylor Swift ( it’s Taylor so could definitely get her a nom but one of her weakest albums)
Petal- Ariana Grande ( Could one hundred percent see this nominated but it’s way to early to even predict it as a nominee)
AIRIRANG- BTS ( Although I don’t think this will be nominated it was very successful and might score a nom but didn’t create much buzz outside the fandom )
Probably not:
Visitor- Sienna Spiro ( I see a lot of potential in this album but unfortunately she’s not popular enough to likely score a nom)
Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally- Harry Styles ( very weak album carried by his fanbase but a possible nom)
