The grammys. They always submit her to pop and trash like ed sheeran or eilish win. In alt she would win easily

 

I really wonder why they never submitted her stuff in either the rock or alternative categories, that's where she really belongs

You know, I think we’re really going to miss this prerelease era. Having the album to ourselves will be magical and eternal but I’ll miss these moments of getting together with dozens of fans to celebrate a living legend. What a special era. I’m so happy.

Halsey album IICHL was submitted to alternative.

I won't miss this pre-release. It made way too many great users stop posting on LB. Way too toxic.

Yeah, it's just that to me ''pop vocal'' is like a super vague, generic category and often times it's really just for mainstream-radio-friendly stuff, and while Lana is mainstream I don't think she's generic or radio-friendly in the slightest. So they are really wasting their time submitting her albums in that category.

Actually scratch that, I could totally see above a 9.4, definitely not a 10 though. I feel like we’ll get a lot of “beautiful collage of all her previous work” type comments

the grammy's can and do overrule submissions. for all we know, lana has been submitting for alternative for years, but they always put her in pop regardless if they feel like thats where she belongs

The new Rolling Stone UK has one of the best interviews she did in years.

This! (Sadly) 

but as much as I thought LFL was a messy era, the more it was kinda the « best » of those messy eras. BB and COCC weren’t that bad but were kinda uneventful and radio silent. Norman has got to be the worst.

Lana actually has more chance of winning a Grammy in the Pop categories. Alternative voters have been notoriously misogynistic. In the 32 years history of Best Alternative Music Album category, only 1 female artist (Sinéad O’Connor) won the award lol before 2015. Bjork, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos were all horrendously snubbed. Recently, things have been changing due to criticisms. Still, Lana has more chance in the Pop categories.

 

Side note: the same thing with Alt radio. Lorde was the first female artist in 17 years to top the Alt radio chart back in 2013. Insanity. Breaking that curse. https://www.billboard.com/pro/lorde-first-woman-in-17-years-to-top-alternative-songs-with-royals/
 

and of course, Lana did it with Doin Time in 2019.

 

Pop voters/categories have way more respect for female artists actually. It’s always been this way.
