Do you need to have a successful song or album to win a grammy? What flops have won ?

Toxic flopped on the Billboard Year End charts and won a Grammy for the producers.

Joanne is definitely a flop! But I love the version that won a Grammy.

It used to happen more often, these days rarely

Yes Joanne (WDYTYG) won Best Pop Solo over a bunch of smash hits

 

Yes.

 

Jon Batiste literally won AOTY with an album that didn't even chart before it won. 

 

Lady Gaga won Best Pop Solo Performance for her piano version of Joanne over acts like Ariana Grande and Post Malone in their prime. 

 

Bonnie Raitt literally won SOTY just two years ago with a total khia song about organ donation over mega smash hits like As It Was

 

like come on neow……

 

The way DMF always knows how trigger and derail an entire thread into dragging his "fave"

All About That Bass was a huge hit that really helped Meghan. And Xtina was big back then. I think Joanne is the only dark horse.

yes but only if you have connections in the music industry like fraud batiste or if you're respected in your field like gaga

Toxic is a flop? Btch in what world

 

And Britney also won for that Grammy since the perorming artists are credited for Best Dance Recording.

yes, this is because there's many other categories than the main ones 

Witnesses deserved a Grammy

Yes. P!nk's "Trouble" which peaked at #68 on the Hot 100 from her flop era "Try This" which sold 700k in the US (90% decline from Miss which sold 6M) won a Grammy beating Avril's "Losing Grip" 

I've seen a few in the past years so I'm expecting more to win in the coming years &nbsp

Yes just check the results from not a general field. Many of them are flops

Like someone said above it used to happen in the past but these days rarely. I feel like the awards is deeply connect with chart success yet someone like Lana with good streaming numbers never won 

 

This flop has won 3 for the AOTY 2024.

Not anymore since they are easily bought these days.

 

Flops don't have money for Grammys. 

Tinashe's Superlove, for example!
