Truth Hurts by Lizzo was released in 2017 but got many grammy nom in 2020…

Yeah it being allowed in was dumb, but I guess it got in because it (the rule) also says "or when a song gained prominence"

They mean it is not eligible for next year's Grammys

Yeah her label could've waited a week and then it'd be eligible for next year

I think it's very odd that Anitta got in BNA in 2023 despite Versions of Me being her 6th full length album and debuting in like 2009-2010? Same goes with Victoria Monét who also dropped 6 projects prior to Jaguar II and debuting in like 2013? (and her breakthrough moment was like 1/10th of the success Sabrina has now)

they never submitted previously

 

that seems to be the main criteria

Isn't Sabrina on her SIXTH album?? Grammys BNA rules never make any sense.

That was made up by a fan. It was eligible and simply didn't get enough votes.

I think they just mean it wasn't eligible in the year it actually blew up in. 

 

Greedy didn't reach Top 25 until October 2nd. Grammy noms came out November 10th. 

 

It would be really hard for a pop song that came out the last day of eligibility to get noticed enough and get nominated that quickly, even though it was submitted.

Very true, especially if the artist isn't that popular. Olivia released Guts a week before that cutoff but no shock she still managed to get all those nominations regardless.

I feel like in general established artists like that, Anitta or Sabrina shouldn't be eligible. Like how are you gonna call yourself a new artist when your debut came out a decade ago Kinda embarrassing

[LatinFreak]

Isnt that award cursed anyways?

Right, if this was her comeback single after a big era then I think it would have had a chance. Especially if it debuted top 10. 

 

It's kinda funny though because I would say Sabrina was way more well known than Tate before 2023, yet Sabrina will be the one eligible.

Teah but They changed it so amount of albums previously released don't matter If you have a breakthrough and hadn't previously submitted with the later being the main disqualifier

 

i didnt know the amount of times matter tho I thought it was just one and done. But apparently you can submit up to three times

Only because by definition you have to be kinda a khia to win it. Billie wasn't cursed

[Eóghan]

it's kinda ridiculous, especially since Tate is 5 years younger than Chappell/Sabrina and has been hustling to get success for a far less amount of time. yet she's disqualified to get nominated for that category forever

They should honestly just delete that category or renamed to best new breakthrough act

 

Cause it's just embarrassing 

 

Even if chappell or sabrina win it would be embarrassing for them since they've been around for a long time

one is not like the other. chappell's debut album only came out last year. before that, she had an ep in 2017 that she released by herself but that was it. all the songs she has been releasing since 2020 ended up being part of her first album. you can't really compare her to sabrina who's been releasing multiple albums through a major label ever since 2015.

chappell releasing music for 7 years and sabrina has like 5 albums out. i love all of them but this is bs and don't make sense… also she has 2 albums out, so how 3?

Chappell's first album has only been out for under a year. Sabrina has a ton of albums and singles, and Tate has a couple albums and several hit singles. If Tate's ineligible, Sabrina should also be ineligible. Chappell's been around for a while but she should qualify since she's still a relatively new artist in terms of success and having only one full length project out.

[laqqinq]

I don't know if some here read what it said. Regardless of how many albums or singles, if the artist is "breaking through" in the industry and has submitted three times, then they won't be eligible; if they have submitted an entry less than three times, they can enter. The moment they submit the third time, it is their last chance.

 

But the criterion of what is considered as a "breakout" and everything varies from artist to artist.

 

Regardless, Tate McRae should've at least got a nomination at the 2024 ceremony.

[Zyill]

They need to just rename the category to "Breakout Artist" so we can stop having the same stale conversation every year 

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

Why are they even considering Sabrina a "new artist"?  

[americanlife]

Sabrina has been releasing albums for nearly 10 years at this point. Ever since then, she's had the occasional moderate hit and she's had a small dedicated fanbase. That's not someone that should be eligible for best NEW artist. If anything, she could've been nominated for the previous Grammy's after The Eras Tour and Nonsense breakthrough.

 

Chappell Roan is still a new artist since she only has ONE album and gained all this acclaim and recognition less than 6 months ago. THAT is a NEW artist. Sabrina has been around for a while now, even if she didn't have smash hits. She's been known in the industry as a singer and FORMER DISNEY STAR for several years, that is not a new artist.

Chappell is eligible to be nominated tho.

The way this award show has become a joke these days is insane lol. That's ridiculous
