ya'll what ? since OB -and let's face it SYTH- was released she's one of most streamed female artist in the world on Spotify. In July she was second most streamed female artist and 9th overall. She has more monthly listeners than Beyoncé (53 millions for Lana and 52 for Bey). OB got amazing reviews (8.3 on pitchfork, 80 on Meta...) she truly is in her mainstream era, like it or not. I can see the change here in Europe, my friend group, social circle, they're all starting to listen to her music, she's appearing in big media here in France... I remember clearly the NFR era and it was nowhere near as mainstream. 

Why are so many people being so negative, literally almost every major music publication is predicting at least two nominations. She will more than likely get nominated for AOTY and SOTY/ROTY

Disagree with a lot of what's being said in here. I was certain they wouldn't nominate NFR for AOTY because of the title and then it ended up getting AOTY and SOTY noms. I know it's a different scenario with the "this is the experience of being an American Whore" refrain, but A&W got a pretty warm reception from critics and casual listeners, not too far off from how NFR was received. Jack's video of "behind the song" shows that they're campaigning for sure, and I think that A&W is the choice to get Lana her Grammy if that's what they're going for. It's so Lana but it's also so different from anything she had done prior to its release. Her music is incredible and has been nominated several times before, but I think that what leveraged a win was something unexpected or exciting like A&W.
 
No doubt that they need to push her in Alternative finally, but at the end of the day I believe it comes down to the Grammy committee to decide where an artist is placed, which sucks. I don't see them placing Ocean Blvd in Pop, but then again I said the same for NFR and well.  
 
Long story short, I think Ocean Blvd has the one thing that I can maybe think of that pulled NFR back from a sweep that year, which is that little twist some of these songs have. Depending on what else gets nommed for AOTY, I think she actually has a huge shot there and even in SOTY. Would be really cool to see her get two noms in AOTY with Ocean Blvd and Midnights, which is no doubt going to get a place in the AOTY category. 
 
Also worth noting: the huge renaissance Lana is having, if we can call it that? She never went away per se, but the general public is loving and supporting her in a way we haven't seen since the Born to Die era. As we've seen before, the Grammys love to reward the artists their viewers are enjoying. Kacey following 2018, Billie following 2019, Olivia following 2021, Harry following 2022... I think she has a pretty good chance this year.

And also because the music industry worked very differently more than 10 years ago lol, It doesn't really mean anything now to have a n1 album, album sales are dead and gone tbh, what matters most is streams and she never had this much streams in her entire career

It took Summertime Sadness 10 Years to hit 500 millions stream and then 1 year to double that and hit 1 Billion. I'm sorry but that's delulu to say she's not more mainstream than she was when she dropped BTD. Also LFL was a commercial flop

I totally agree with both of you tbh BUT she's never been as much mainstream as she is now that's why I'm thinking she's def getting nominated and perhaps win, also I don"t think they're companying for best alternative but for AOTY, I mean she did get nominated for NFR and OB was as well received by critics and touched more public, it's more popular

Hi all, 
 
I was thinking, with ALL the promo that's been going on since OB was released, I'm pretty sure it's a Grammy campaign ! What do you think will be nominated ? A&W for SOTY ? Candy Necklace or SOTB for best duo ? OB for AOTY ? I wanna know what you think ! 
 
Maybe it'll be fun to recap all the promo / releases / marketing that happened and make predictions !

I'm seeing more and more ppl saying this, considering Jon is a grammy sweetheart, could this finally be the year ?
