World News – CA – 2021 Grammy Predictions: These are the 8 nominees for Best New Artist based on our odds of winning

Who will be nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys if he or she is born on March 24th?. November announces its competitors? Thousands of Gold Derby users have predicted who will make the cut in the top categories and their predictions have been combined to generate our official circuit odds. Who we bet on in this open race is listed in order of their chances of winning:

She was a cultural force in 2020, topping the Billboard Hot 100 with “Savage” and “WAP”, making a political statement on “Saturday Night Live,” and taking home prizes at the MTV Video Music Awards, People’s Choice Awards and Artist of the Year at the BET Hip Hop Awards. If she wins here, she will be the first female rapper to take home this award.

The indie rock musician released her second studio album “Punisher. « It was their first album to hit the Billboard 200, and it received some of the best reviews of the year, scoring 90 on MetaCritic. « . She’s not the biggest hit maker of the year, but sometimes the Grammys crowd around a critical darling (think previous champions like Esperanza Spalding and Bon Iver). .

She gradually rose to the Billboard Hot 100 with her breakthrough hit « Say So » before her remix version with Nicki Minaj finally took her to number one. And despite controversy along the way, she was backed by fans who recognized her as best new artist at the VMAs and People’s Choice Awards.

In October 2019 she released her debut studio album « Over It ». It has produced three platinum singles (including the top 20 hit « Playing Games ») and received their nominations at the American Music Awards, BET Awards and VMAs, as well as a win at the Billboard Music Awards. At the Grammys she stood out as the groundbreaking R&B artist who needs this category, much like H. . E.. . R.. . a few years ago.

Roddy Ricch won a Grammy Featured Artist last year so he’s not eligible even though this is really his breakthrough season. The most likely male hip hop artist to perform here is Pop Smoke, who was killed in months of a home invasion prior to the release of his debut studio album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon. To be nominated here would be an unprecedented posthumous homage.

The recording academy usually selects at least one artist in this category to represent country music, and we believe Barrett is the most likely to be the one with “I Hope. But she may have to watch out for Morgan Wallen, who comes with some baggage that might put voters off but has just been named New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards.

The genre-flexible Japanese-British singer-songwriter released her debut studio album « Sawayama » in April, but although she has not yet topped the US charts, she could join Bridgers as one of the most famous and iconoclastic artists -and- comers in the industry.

K-pop has taken over the world but hasn’t made it to the Grammys yet. The genre may be too big to ignore at this point, but BTS trailblazers are too established to be considered new artists. Giving Blackpink the nod might be the admission academy’s nod to an inevitable cultural movement.

Dark horses: Morgan Wallen (30/1), Mickey Guyton (30/1), Moses Sumney (35/1), Ingrid Andress (37/1), Finneas (58/1), Orville Peck (64 / 1), Conan Gray (72/1)
