Kendrick 

note that these are predictions from the users of Goldderby who are some of the biggest haters and weirdest ppl on the internet (see Lorde and Gaga having basically the same chances  which is f-ing crazy)

They always favor newer releases in the early odds, Goldderby won't be accurate until like December, at the very least.

A month ago Gaga was #1 or #2 in predictions, but then OGHs caught wind and made accounts to sabotage her. 

Anyway, Lady Gaga will be winning

They're so funny, I wish I knew what criteria the Gold Derby users go by LMFAO. But, surprisingly, the Gold Derby experts usually get pretty close to the final results. Anyway, I think Kendrick is going to win, but I'm rooting for Gaga or Bad Bunny.

The Weeknd as a way of them saying sorry to snub After Hours 

Swag of course

Kendrick Lamar 

These year is really the weakest year in years, I hope Sabrina's album is great otherwise nobody would be the opponent of Kendrick

Kendrick - 2026

Taylor - 2027

 

Bad Bunny.

Easily Kendrick. 

I Hope Gaga gets it

I feel like this is the closest she will ever be of winning it with a Pop Récord 

and Mayhem deserves it

no other álbum has made more noise worldwide

I expect The Weeknd to get a lot of nominations after this year's big reveal at the ceremony from the head of the Grammys himself. They want to apologize to him and I doubt they'll let him go empty handed or without some big nods.

Agreed

It'll be Kendrick. The question is whether he's winning consecutive Song and Record awards with it. 

I'm going Kendrick.

7 Top 10 singles / 3 #1s or something like that, not including any of the songs from the beef AND Top 10 "30 for 30"?

It's looking like him. That's a runaway era right there.

"Luther" will bring in the R&B field.

 

Mayhem has a chance, but I'm sure anyone who thought this was a two-album race at the beginning of the year expected a higher-quality album.

Tate McRae most likely. There's always that dark horse.

Kendrick is such an obvious choice it's just delusional not thinking he's gonna win, GNX is the best selling album of the year (well, yet at least), extremely acclaimed, had 2 #1's, including a massive 10 week one, had an insanely popular Superbowl, and unlike in 2024 there's no multiple artists smashing this year that can take his votes away, when it comes to Gaga, if DWAS didn't take any major category despite having 2 artists with insane grammy appeal and also being a smash hit I just really don't see any chance on Mayhem is winning this year

Bad Bunny deserves it. 

Kendrick is obvious, this year is not competitive at all
