[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Album Cowboy sold less than 500k

Album Tortured Poet Society sold 1.9 million

Taylor robbed all because JayZ pitched a fit last year.[/quote]

Taylor wasn’t robbed. She legit gamed sales by releasing multiple variants. And I’m a Swiftie! She won for AOTY last year for Midnights, not her strongest album at all. TTPD is too much - too many songs and neither the original nor anthology were cohesive.

I also don’t agree with the win for Cowboy Carter. Chappell Roan should have won. That song crossed multiple audiences and legit had demand at largest festivals of the year. [/quote]

Agree regarding TTPD.

Generally Grammy voters don't award Best New Artist and AOTY to the same person. It's happened a few times (Billie Eilish, Lauryn Hill) but it's really, really rare. Get Best New Artist is well deserved for Chappell Roan and she'll have more chances at AOTY.

I am fine with Beyoncé getting AOTY even though Cowboy Carter is not her very best album. I do think she's been snubbed in the past (Lemonade) and I also think rewarding her for working outside her genre in a way that is both artistically interesting and commercially successful is valid. But I'm also someone who doesn't mind with the Grammy's are somewhat political. They are an industry aware and all industry awards are at least a little political. It's not the People's Choice. It's about artists and industry people deciding amongst themselves who to recognize. It will never be perfect and is not meant to reflect the will of the fans -- it's a reflection of what the industry is thinking. No more or less. [/quote]
