poll Song and Record of the Year: 2019

[Achilles.]

Voters in our 2018 poll were not in favor of the Bruno Mars sweep. They opted to honor Kendrick Lamar’s “Humble” as Record of the Year, while Julia Michaels edged out Mars to claim Song of the Year for “Issues.” So… that happened. 
 

In 2019, the Recording Academy expanded the number of general field nominees to diversify the lineups and get more big names nominated. Both awards went to Childish Gambino for “This Is America.” But this is ATRL, so that seems unlikely to happen here. Will little monsters reward their fave’s “Shallow” option, or will members with good taste prevail? Vote now!
