King_Lonnie Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Everyone knows the Grammys is very weird when it comes to Awarding Black Artist but this year Black Artist has been breaking records from Billboard to Streaming Records, so do you think black artist will take home the big categories?? HISS being the biggest song in sales the first week and hitting #1 Texas Hold 'Em becoming first country song by a black Female Artist to hit #1 Beyoncé going #1 with a country Album and pulling over 400K almost 30 years in her career. NOT LIKE US breaking countless records and returning back to #1 shaboozy hitting #1 with a country song by a black male artist just to name a few.. 4
Popular Post Devin Posted July 18 Popular Post Posted July 18 grammys has failed when multi black artists were dominating in prev decades. they will pick and choose who is worthy of a win and snub the rest. 17 1
Popboi. Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Not looking likely, I have a slight feeling all main categories will be toss ups between Billie, Chappell and Sabrina. 1

The only overall record is HISS and even then that song was forgotten so fast. Every other record is just inside the black community which is not as meaningful when it comes to a broader audience (watch SOS success las year and how it turned out Grammys wise) And also if we want to talk about streaming and sales records there has been Fortnight, TTPD & I Had Some Help which basically obliterated all of the other songs recordswise so I don't think streaming/sales record are meaningful in that sense 1 3

Specially grammy wise which are not based on success/records so for them to be meaningful you need to be THE ONE you can't just be among the biggests. And regarding TTPD, I clearly don't expect AOTY again but I wouldn't rule out some wins. Lots of people in online forums dragged Midnights for months and look at her now, real musicians value her no matter whatever people online says about it (Although I think this year competition is much harder)
dumbsparce Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Maybe in the country categories we'll see more diversity than ever. As for the general field, Kendrick Lamar has the highest chances of winning something and Normani will for sure snatch BNA 1
byzantium Posted July 18 Posted July 18 (edited) This year will be like pretty much every other year there is not an Adele or Billie Eilish sweep. Black artists will win 1-2 of the 4 main awards. Edited July 18 by byzantium
Cheers Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Only if they promise to get Latino the year after and Asian the year after that!
popmusicisdead Posted July 18 Posted July 18 nothing really shocks me about The Grannys anymore. every year there's a narrative that their finally gonna give AOTY to Beyonce or another black female artist like SZA this year but they truly DGAF. i mean, not only did they not give AOTY to Renaissance after all the public outcry, they gave it to Harry Styles. 5 3
Archetype Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Beyoncé is not going to win a main field Grammy this year. She doesn't deserve to either IMO. The other artists mentioned have a greater chance of winning. 1 2 6

HappierJealousy Posted July 18 Posted July 18 (edited) what do you mean "go black"? If you mean black artist sweep the big four then it definitely won't gonna happen If you mean they won 1 or 2 out of the big four, this is happening every few years Edited July 18 by HappierJealousy
ATRL Moderator Juánny Posted July 18 ATRL Moderator Posted July 18 Beyonce deserves general field wins idc, CC deserves especially (imo) and she's been snubbed hard in this category in the past. But the Grammys will do whatever, they'll probably just give everything to Billie again 3
Kiss It Better Posted July 18 Posted July 18 hopefully yeah AOTY - Beyonce ROTY - Beyonce or Shaboozey or Kendrick SOTY - Beyonce or Kendrick BNA - Shaboozey 1
AvadaKedavra Posted July 18 Posted July 18 (edited) I don't think so. They're not going to allow a black artist to win an award in the most white-centered genre. If they didn't give it to her for albums as impactful as Lemonade, I don't see it happening for Cowboy Carter. She doesnt need it. Beyonce is bigger than those flop awards. I dont care about them since that Praying by Kesha snub and Shape of You winning over it. most ridiculous awards ever Edited July 18 by AvadaKedavra 1
