Time really does fly ! Remember the day it was released and enjoyed listened to Love on the Brain for the first time.

Dual Release with Needed Me. The GP just gravitated to Needed Me more.

SZA is in a different position than she was with CTRL. We haven’t had a big female R&B album/era (commercially) like SOS in years . She should be in position to sweep R&B categories easily. Kill Bill and Snooze are impressive and big hits. Snooze is in the Top 3 after charting for nearly a year. She could definitely win Record of the Year also. The last 2 winners in that category have been R&B/Hip Hop influenced. She definitely has the appeal for Pop, Rap/Hip Hop and R&B votes. Big eras like SOS in R&B tend to sweep that field. There are multiple examples of that. Kill Bill is a crossover pop hit while Snooze is the R&B based one. She got in the Rap Field with Low which is impressive. Id say she has Progressive R&B Album, R&B Song, R&B Performance LOCKED. Arguably Traditional R&B Performance too. Victoria Monét should be able to skate through a BNA & R&B Album win easily too.

I think she benefits from the name-check thing and she has great placement on the ballot (Clarkson = C).

ALBUM OF THE YEAR SOS — SZA SONG OF THE YEAR Kill Bill — SZA BEST R&B/SOUL FEMALE ARTIST SZA BEST R&B/SOUL MALE ARTIST USHER BEST NEW ARTIST COCO JONES SOUL TRAIN CERTIFIED AWARD USHER VIDEO OF THE YEAR ON MY MAMA — VICTORIA MONÉT BEST DANCE PERFORMANCE ON MY MAMA — VICTORIA MONÉT BEST COLLABORATION GOOD GOOD — USHER, Summer Walker, & 21 Savage ASHFORD & SIMPSON SONGWRITERS AWARD SNOOZE — Written by SZA, Babyface, Blair Ferguson, Khris Riddick-Tynes & Leon Thomas (SZA) SZA should be able to sweep most of the important categories

SZA should be able to sweep

GRAMMY nominations are tomorrow. SZA domination in effect. I hope she sweeps the R&B field come February. Should be able to get due for the CTRL snubs

1 week until meltdowns

Not some people being weird in these comments … Mind You …. https://x.com/talkofthecharts/status/1705965689985466418?s=46 I think Confessions was the last R&B album from the 00s to go Diamond and he had biggest first week sales for any R&B artist period (1.1m) for Confessions. He has hits in the 90s, 00s, and 10s. He’s one of the greatest artists of all time then he’s a great singer and performer. He checks all the boxes.

BEST POP SOLO Kill Bill, SZA What Was I Made For ?, Billie Eilish Anti-Hero, Taylor Swift Flowers, Miley Cyrus vampire, Olivia Rodrigo BEST POP VOCAL ALBUM Midnights, Taylor Swift Endless Summer Vacation, Miley Cyrus Gloria, Sam Smith GUTS, Olivia Rodrigo - (subtract), Ed Sheeran (SOS, SZA ~ if she gets moved to Pop)

Mary J Blige has R&B Album & Traditional R&B Performance on lock

Rihanna can’t do the GRAMMYs and the Super Bowl at the same time

True to that but the voters are going to vote for what they feel is the BEST in each category regardless , new leader or not. They literally don’t care and some pool of voters have big biases. It will take time for them to progress to a new type of winner. The closest Beyoncé ever came to winning AOTY was with I Am Sasha Fierce . Honestly, I think she could’ve won if she had submitted SL to ROTY instead of Halo. That probably could’ve persuaded voters to let her do a clean sweep but it’s water under the bridge now lol.

It’s not called the Staples Center anymore

I don’t think Beyoncé will win this time. Beyoncé probably turned off some voters with how many people are involved with Renaissance (credits). Some voters are very snobby like that. Dianne Warren did that weird mess about Alien Superstar having a bunch of writers. Someone like her most likely wouldn’t vote for Beyoncé. I will say Mary J. Blige & possibly Kendrick Lamar could’ve also hurt her chances with gaining votes. Mary J Blige. definitely took a chunk of R&B votes from her. Some R&B voters could’ve voted for Mary since they have an actual R&B Album to vote for. I would say Lizzo too but with a small portion. Music Film being moved to the main telecast doesn’t really mean anything. I would take that with a grain a salt. The Grammys do not care about getting tomatoes thrown at them if Beyoncé loses again.

Jill Biden will probably do something similar to what Michelle did at the 2019 awards

SHE DIDNT LIE !

Final Predictions Album of the Year: 30, Adele Record of the Year: Easy On Me, Adele Song of the Year: Easy On Me, Adele Adkins and Greg Kurstin, songwriters (Adele) Best New Artist: Muni Long Adele will most likely win everything again and the Grammys are too SAFE with their GF picks when it comes to AOTY, ROTY, & SOTY. I’ll have to see it to believe that’ll she’ll lose big on the night of the Grammys. I think Muni Long can win BNA with the R&B field rallying her alone.

2000s R&B is so good. Many sonic changing albums came from that era (ie. Aaliyah & Full Moon)

Final Predictions ! Album of the Year — RENAISSANCE Song of the Year — “Good Morning Gorgeous” Best R&B/Soul Female — Beyoncé Best R&B/Soul Male — Lucky Daye Best New Artist — Muni Long Soul Train Certified Award — Mary J Blige Best Gos/Insp Award — CeCe Winans Video of the Year — About Damn Time Best Dance Perf — About Damn Time Best Collaboration — Make Me Say It Again, Girl Ashford & Simpson Songwriters Award — “Good Morning Gorgeous”

This is a tossup but Lucky Daye is definitely in Last Place. Beyoncé & Mary J Blige stormed the GF & R&B Field. Both have great support within the R&B voters, Mary J has a lot of goodwill outside of music. If Mary & Bey splits then Jazmine could swoop in & win too. Jazmine has passion when it comes to the R&B Field (see how she was able to be tied with Silk Sonic). Muni Long’s “Hrs & Hrs” could surprise being that it’s been a constant R&B radio hit the whole season.

I’m scared for Beyoncé because she has tough competition in the R&B Field, Jazmine & Mary J could possibly upset her in all categories.. I think she’s definitely sweeping the Dance Field.

Latin Grammys & American Grammys do not translate at all but Bad Bunny is not winning AOTY though, he’s solely there bc of commercial success but at the same time his album being primarily Spanish-language might not be accessible to multiple blocks. He’ll most definitely win his genre nomination plus him and Rosalía are in different categories in the Latin field.

Alphabetical Advantage is real lol but artists that are passion picks can overcome that. Voters are really lazy . Some of them might choose their Top 5 before they get pass the letter D ? ABBA definitely benefited from that.
