The 67th Grammy Awards will commence on Sunday night with smoke from the Los Angeles fires still lingering in the air. But the show goes on and winners will be crowned. Some races are particularly competitive: Album of the Year is a monster this time, while some genre categories are shaping up to be locks (see: the Best Rap Song field).<\/p>\n

After running the numbers, talking to experts, and, most importantly, digesting all that music, we predict the winners in 13 categories, including the Big Four of Album, Record, Song, and New Artist.<\/p>\n

The 2025 Grammys, hosted by Trevor Noah, air Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.<\/p>\n

The Lowdown<\/strong>
\nThis has been a strong year for albums as\u00a0albums<\/em>, and not just as collections of songs designed to support a single or two: Both Beyonc\u00e9 and Taylor Swift lived up to that ideal. They\u2019re hardly the only ones, though. Few artists epitomize that like\u00a0Chappell Roan, whose debut full-length,\u00a0The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess<\/em>, has been a bottomless gold mine of vibrant, deeply felt pop. \u201c\u2018Good Luck, Babe!\u2019 was the song that finally propelled her,\u201d says Spotify\u2019s Talia Kraines, senior editor of pop, \u201cbut it\u2019s been truly fascinating to watch everybody really dig into her catalog \u2014 nearly the entire album is in the Spotify Top 200.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Billie Eilish\u2019s sharply drawn, yet tenderly felt\u00a0Hit Me Hard and Soft<\/em>, says Kraines, \u201cwas really her being a twentysomething instead of a teenager \u2014 it was incredibly relatable despite her being one of the most famous people in the world.\u201d Charli XCX\u2019s\u00a0Brat<\/em>\u00a0introduced her as a solo artist to a whole new audience while staying true to her future-pop ideals. \u201cWe\u2019ve always known she had it in her,\u201d says Kraines.\u00a0But don\u2019t overlook the unbridled artistry of\u00a0Andr\u00e9\u00a03000\u2019s flute adventure\u00a0New Blue Sun<\/em>, just the kind of eclectic release Grammy voters often like to reward.<\/p>\n

Who Should Win<\/strong>
\nBeyonc\u00e9 \u2013\u00a0Cowboy Carter<\/em><\/strong>
\nBeyonc\u00e9 is the winningest artist in Grammy Awards history \u2014 but somehow has never won Album of the Year.\u00a0Cowboy Carter<\/em>\u00a0could fix that: It\u2019s an important history lesson about Black contributions to American music, as well as an introduction to the next generation of Black country music. \u201cUplifting other Black female country artists, and creating important conversations that needed to happen, is so important,\u201d says Kraines. That the album is stuffed with indelible tracks like the slick \u201cBodyguard,\u201d and the sweetly supportive Miley Cyrus duet \u201cII Most Wanted\u201d makes it a contender, too. \u201cThe two things stand side by side: the cultural piece and the excellent album,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Who Will Win
\nTaylor Swift \u2013\u00a0The Tortured Poets Department<\/em><\/strong>
\nCan anyone stop Swift\u2019s momentum, especially since she\u00a0announced\u00a0The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>\u00a0at the 2024 Grammy Awards? \u201cObviously, the impact of the Eras Tour is hard to ignore, and obviously\u00a0The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>\u00a0has been huge,\u201d Kraines says. \u201cHer whole catalog still continues to stream like crazy, and when she added the new album\u2019s section [to her show], that gave it another boost.\u201d\u00a0TTPD<\/em>\u00a0was produced by Jack Antonoff, who\u2019s currently on a three-year winning streak for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, and that should help Swift\u2019s case \u2014 as well as the hysteria she created on her Eras Tour, which wrapped in December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Lowdown<\/strong>
\nThis nomination year was one of pop\u2019s most lively in recent memory, with newly minted phenomena, breakout hits, and superstar flag-plants jostling for position on playlists and charts. It makes for a fairly wide-open Record of the Year field that balances star-power (Beyonc\u00e9! Billie! Taylor with Posty!) with new talent (Shaboozey!) and surprises (The Beatles?!). Kendrick Lamar\u2019s \u201cNot Like Us\u201d could be the category\u2019s spoiler, however. An undeniable sensation immediately upon its surprise release, the DJ Mustard-produced banger\u2019s popularity has only grown, with marching bands\u00a0picking up its mantle\u00a0for the fall\u2019s football season.<\/p>\n

Who Should Win
\nChappell Roan \u2013 \u201cGood Luck, Babe!\u201d
\n<\/strong>Few songs have been as universally embraced this year as \u201cGood Luck, Babe!\u201d \u2014\u00a0everyone from Franz Ferdinand and Miranda Lambert with Kelly Clarkson have\u00a0covered it\u00a0live. Roots band Josiah and the Bonnevilles even released an acoustic cover last summer. The song, which Roan told\u00a0RS<\/em>\u00a0was about \u201cwishing good luck to someone who is denying fate,\u201d is fully in the zeitgeist. It\u2019s also her most streamed song.<\/p>\n

Who Will Win
\nBillie Eilish \u2013 \u201cBirds of a Feather\u201d<\/strong>
\nEilish\u2019s \u201cBirds of a Feather\u201d is a pop gem that showed how the eclectic artist\u2019s vocal interpretations have matured since her late-\u201810s breakthrough. Listeners naturally gravitated toward it, too, and it unexpectedly became the hit from\u00a0Hit Me Hard and Soft\u00a0<\/em>last summer. \u201cWhen a record comes out, there\u2019s a planned [focus] song, but then we begin very quickly seeing on Spotify different songs beginning to trend,\u201d says Kraines. \u201cWe immediately all loved \u2018Birds of a Feather.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBeyonc\u00e9\u2019s \u201cTexas Hold \u2018Em\u201d and Shaboozey\u2019s \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy)\u201d make this crop of Song of the Year contenders a little bit country \u2014 and music fans have been more than fine with that. \u201cThe mass audience is really not afraid to get their twang on,\u201d says Alex Tear, SiriusXM\u2019s vice president of music programming. \u201cWe called it the summer of Yeehaw here at Hits 1, because there were a lot of crossover artists.\u201d And though Beyonc\u00e9 was\u00a0shut out of the CMA Awards nominations\u00a0last year, she has a shot at winning Song of the Year at the Grammys. \u201cBeyonc\u00e9 is not a poser in this format,\u201d Tear says. \u201cShe has the origins of country music running through her DNA.\u201d But the front-runners are undeniable: \u201cGood Luck, Babe!\u201d and \u201cPlease Please Please.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Should Win
\nSabrina Carpenter \u2013 \u201cPlease Please Please\u201d<\/strong>
\nCarpenter\u2019s nu-disco stunner, from her excellent album\u00a0Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em>, helped give her\u00a0mainstream recognition\u00a0that was long overdue. And while Chappell Roan is sure to take home Best New Artist, it would be gratifying to see Sabrina Carpenter win in this category (after all, she\u2019s a singer who\u2019s been\u00a0working late). \u201cI\u2019m just so happy to see Sabrina get her due,\u201d Tear says. \u201cIt\u2019s time. She\u2019s been on the game in this scene for close to a decade, and it\u2019s her turn to get flowers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Will Win
\nChappell Roan \u2013 \u201cGood Luck, Babe!\u201d
\n<\/strong>This was the year of Chappell Roan, and it all starts with her biggest hit: \u201cGood Luck, Babe!\u201d surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify. The explosive track is so beloved \u2014 even Tom Morello\u00a0is a fan\u00a0\u2014 yet many think her success was overnight. \u201cWhat\u2019s so infuriating is how people are just now taking me seriously,\u201d she told\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0<\/em>in her\u00a0cover story.\u00a0\u201cLike, \u2018You know what, bitch? I\u2019ve been doing this shit and you\u2019re just now catching up.\u2019\u201d\u00a0\u201cGood Luck, Babe!\u201d is Billie Eilish\u2019s favorite song of the year. If that doesn\u2019t convince the Grammys, what will?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Lowdown<\/strong>
\nBest New Artist is part of the Big Four categories, alongside Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. While they\u2019re all massive achievements, Best New Artist is the ultimate award, signaling a star\u2019s arrival. This year\u2019s race will likely come down to Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan. But Doechii, currently with momentum on her side, as well as Shaboozey, Benson Boone, and Teddy Swims all have to be considered potential spoilers. \u201cIn the middle of this Brat year, [Boone] has done a masterful job with connecting to the masses,\u201d says Alex Tear, SiriusXM\u2019s vice president of music programming, who also raves about Swims. \u201cHe\u2019s got an amazing, memorable voice, and he\u2019s got the swag. \u2018The Door\u2019 is a song that just won\u2019t stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Should Win<\/strong>
\nChappell Roan<\/strong>
\nRoan famously described herself as \u201cyour favorite artist\u2019s favorite artist,\u201d but that was before she had nearly 6 million followers on Instagram and received an invitation to the White House (spoiler alert: she\u00a0turned it down). And considering she spent almost a decade trying to make it in the industry, she\u2019s the most worthy of the win. \u201cIt\u2019s my dream job,\u201d she\u00a0told us. \u201cI never know if it\u2019s going to be like this ever again, which is kind of scary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Will Win<\/strong>
\nChappell Roan<\/strong>
\nRoan\u2019s explosive success this year means she\u2019s likely to sweep the major categories, chief among them Best New Artist. \u201cThe Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess\u00a0<\/em>really set her up in 2023, and that Chappell buzz was going,\u201d Tear says. \u201cI remember [thinking], \u2018Oh, my god, she\u2019s going to kill this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

\nThere\u2019s a saying in Nashville \u2014 \u201cIt all begins with a song\u201d \u2014\u00a0and this year\u2019s glut of contenders for Best Country Song sure backs that up.\u00a0Kacey Musgraves\u00a0ambitiously probed the meaning of life,\u00a0Jelly Roll\u00a0reminded us that we\u2019re all going through something or other, and Post Malone and Morgan Wallen celebrated the joy in going off the rails with their ubiquitous bop.\u00a0\u201cWhen you talk about Song of the Year, you\u2019re really talking about using a song as a vehicle for emotional expression,\u201d says Rachel Whitney, head of editorial, Nashville, Spotify, \u201cand these are the songs that really stand out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Should Win
\nKacey Musgraves \u2013 \u201cThe Architect\u201d<\/strong>
\nMusgraves took an awfully big swing with \u201cThe Architect\u201d and knocked it out of the park. What could have been a twee observation of life\u2019s mysteries \u2014\u00a0\u201cEven something as small as an apple\/it\u2019s simple and somehow complex,\u201d she sings, \u201cSweet and divine, the perfect design\/Can I speak to the architect?\u201d \u2014\u00a0is instead an elegant, deep thinker. It also reunites her with her \u201cMerry Go \u2018Round\u201d collaborators Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, two Grammy heavyweights with 14 nominations between them.<\/p>\n

Who Will Win
\nKacey Musgraves \u2013 \u201cThe Architect\u201d<\/strong>
\n\u201cThe Architect\u201d is one of those songs that continues to reveal itself upon repeated listens. \u201cKacey is such a talented songwriter, and I think she really pulls from a depth of experience, and this song in particular is one that resonates when you\u2019re considering life and all its meanings,\u201d Whitney says. \u201cShe just does such an incredible job capturing that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

The Lowdown<\/strong>
\nIn a genre where 30-track playlists are often presented as \u201calbums,\u201d country music had a banner year for legitimate pieces of succinct art. Kacey Musgraves\u00a0cultivated\u00a0an earth mother worldview, Lainey Wilson turned an honest eye toward her sudden fame, and Chris Stapleton made his most cohesive album since his debut,\u00a0Traveller<\/em>. And then there was Beyonc\u00e9, who channeled her Texas upbringing and the Black roots of country music into a true masterwork. \u201cNo matter what your opinion is of her as a country artist, you cannot deny the universal success of this album,\u201d says Storme Warren, host of country station the Big 615 on TuneIn and a 41-year veteran of broadcasting. But he also says to keep an eye on Wilson, last year\u2019s winner for Best Country Album for\u00a0Bell Bottom Country<\/em>, and on Grammy favorite Musgraves. \u201c[Kacey] has a poetic, visual, cinematic gift that just does not exist with a lot of artists,\u201d he says. \u201cThe best ones have that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Should Win
\nBeyonc\u00e9 \u2013\u00a0Cowboy Carter<\/em><\/strong>
\nTo listen to\u00a0Cowboy Carter<\/em>\u00a0from start to finish is to receive an education not only in the Black influence on country music, but what led Beyonc\u00e9 to make this stunner of an album. The LP is every bit Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s story as it is country\u2019s. \u201cIt\u2019s who she is,\u201d says Rachel Whitney, Head of Editorial, Nashville, Spotify. \u201cShe pulled together an extraordinary project with the help of a lot of incredible country songwriters and artists that envelops both the history and the future of country music in a really elegant way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Will Win
\nChris Stapleton \u2013\u00a0Higher<\/em><\/strong>
\nStapleton has triumphed three times in this category, and that type of consistency and voter familiarity can\u2019t be underestimated. But\u00a0Higher<\/em>\u00a0is also chock-full of stellar songs \u2014 like lead single \u201cWhite Horse,\u201d which won Best Country Song at last year\u2019s Grammys, and\u00a0\u201cThink I\u2019m in Love With You\u201d\u00a0\u2014 making it a worthy victor. Warren says Stapleton found a new gear with the album. \u201cWhat Stapleton is doing as a writer and a vocalist, and his connection to his fan base and to country music, is just incredible,\u201d he says. \u201cI think\u00a0Higher<\/em>\u00a0represents the true evolution of who he\u00a0is.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

The Lowdown<\/strong>
\nCarl Chery, Spotify\u2019s head of urban music and creative director, says this year\u2019s Best Rap Album could come down to what kind of rap Grammy voters listen to. \u201cIf you like more of the trap variety, you\u2019re going to lean in Future and Metro\u2019s direction,\u201d he says in an example. For those who are into nostalgia, Eminem\u2019s\u00a0The Death of Slim Shady<\/em>\u00a0could fit the bill \u2014 the Detroit rapper scored his first nomination since 2019. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Eminem takes it,\u201d Chery says. \u201cThis album does feel like the best reception we\u2019ve seen from an Eminem album in years and it performed well commercially \u2026 For someone who\u2019s now in his 50s, Eminem is going in a different direction. You\u2019ve been around for a while, your numbers are supposed to drop \u2026 His audience is getting younger.\u201d All that said, no rapper is coming into the Grammys hotter than Doechii.<\/p>\n

Who Should Win
\nDoechii \u2013\u00a0Alligator Bites Never Heal<\/em><\/strong>
\nBack in October, we saw Doechii tear down Webster Hall in New York and realized that could very well be the last time she tours in a venue of that capacity. It was an incredible performance in the midst of a star-making 2024 for the Florida artist. The Grammys should always want to be in on hip-hop\u2019s cultural zeitgeist, and that means a Best Rap Album trophy, among others, for three-time nominee Doechii.<\/p>\n

Who Will Win<\/strong>
\nDoechii \u2013\u00a0Alligator Bites Never Heal<\/em>
\n<\/strong>When we spoke to Chery, he was on the fence about how much Top Dawg Entertainment and Doechii\u2019s team would push for Grammy consideration, given that her debut album is still on the way (Alligator Bites Never Heal<\/em>\u00a0is technically a mixtape). Chery mainly saw Doechii in the Best New Artist category, but after our conversation, a media blitz and savvy marketing push (including a star-studded \u201cDenial Is a River\u201d video) made it clear that TDE wanted to push\u00a0Alligator Bites Don\u2019t Heal<\/em>\u00a0to the moon. When TDE puts the house behind an artist, they usually succeed at the Grammys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

The Lowdown<\/strong>
\nThis is Kendrick Lamar\u2019s category to lose, according to Carl Chery, Spotify\u2019s head of urban music and creative director. \u201cI just don\u2019t see a world where [Kendrick] doesn\u2019t win,\u201d he says. \u201cThe track record is there. It\u2019s one of the biggest moments of the year. So I think everything is working in his favor right now.\u201d The Grammy committee gets its fair share of criticism for not being on the pulse of hip-hop; this year it\u2019d be pretty much impossible to, in Lamar\u2019s words, not know \u201cwhat the culture\u2019s feelin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Should Win
\nKendrick Lamar \u2013 \u201cNot Like Us\u201d<\/strong>
\nIf ever there were a no-brainer, this category is it. \u201cNot Like Us\u201d covers all the bases: It\u2019s a scathing diss rife with social commentary and call-and-response moments, all over a fun DJ Mustard beat. From the moment the Compton rapper dropped the track last May, the song\u2019s caught fire not just as an anti-Drake anthem, but a legitimately fun song that makes everyone feel like they\u2019re \u201cus\u201d when they\u2019re reciting it. The song\u2019s second verse brought conversations about Drake\u2019s cultural appreciation to a fever pitch; the impact is undeniable. There have been years where a hit song accrued a lot of numbers but didn\u2019t seem as culturally relevant \u2014 this isn\u2019t one of those years.<\/p>\n

Who Will Win
\nKendrick Lamar \u2013 \u201cNot Like Us\u201d<\/strong>
\nThe numbers alone indicate Lamar\u2019s \u201cNot Like Us\u201d as a Best Rap Song inevitability. It\u2019s been a multi-week Hot 100 Number One on\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0and became the fastest song to reach 500 million Spotify streams. Everyone from presidential candidates to sports fans have co-opted the title.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

The Lowdown<\/strong>
\nWith many of Americana\u2019s biggest recent Grammy winners (Jason Isbell, Rhiannon Giddens, among them) absent from this year\u2019s proceedings, the Best Americana Album race is wide open. Voters have their share of wildly eclectic artists to choose from, including indie-country songwriter\u00a0Waxahatchee, the big-voiced Maggie Rose, and Texas troubadour Charley Crockett. Says Margi Cheske, co-president of Concord Records, which has released LPs by Allison Russell and Nathaniel Rateliff: \u201cThis year is more wide open for surprises than in past years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Should Win<\/strong>
\nSierra Ferrell \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Trail of Flowers<\/strong>
\n<\/em>The Recording Academy can be famously slow to recognize up-and-coming talents, even when they\u2019re as\u00a0red hot as Sierra Ferrell. But the West Virginia singer-songwriter has had\u00a0such<\/em>\u00a0a star-making year \u2014 major festival slots, rave reviews, features with two of the single most popular artists in the country (Zach Bryan, Post Malone) \u2014\u00a0that Ferrell deserves a win here. \u201cShe\u2019s so incredibly unique and talented,\u201d says Cheske.<\/p>\n

Who Will Win
\nSarah Jarosz \u2013\u00a0Polaroid Lovers<\/em><\/strong>
\nIf there\u2019s one roots artist who feels due for recognition this year, it\u2019s Sarah Jarosz, who now has 12 total Grammy nominations (split between the folk and Americana categories). Her past three records all received nods, and she\u2019s already won in this category with 2020\u2019s\u00a0World on the Ground<\/em>. On top of that, her latest LP,\u00a0Polaroid Lovers<\/em>, is the most accessible of her career. \u201cShe\u2019s kind of like the new Alison Krauss,\u201d says Cheske. \u201cHer new record is incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

The Lowdown<\/strong>
\nThe Grammy for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album has always been somewhat of a grab bag; it\u2019s so broad that anyone can argue that nearly any album fits in here. The projects that tend to do best are either straight-ahead rock or hard-to-categorize experimentalism: As examples, Rosalia\u2019s\u00a0Motomami\u00a0<\/em>took the prize in 2023, while Juanes and Natalia Lafourcade shared the award in an unexpected tie last year.<\/p>\n

This year\u00a0appears to be another wild-card race, with tons of releases that show the diversity of Spanish-language albums. Jos\u00e9 Luis Mercado, who\u2019s behind the popular Latin music platform and social media account Rock En Las Americas, says he\u2019s been noticing a split in what artists are doing: The release cycle has been full of compendiums that nod to the past and the history of Latin alternative sounds, and projects from newer artists discovering entirely different directions. Elsewhere, modern acts dove head first into genre-defying styles that capture fresh new energy. Mercado points to records like\u00a0Nathy Peluso\u2019s long-awaited second LP,\u00a0Grasa<\/em>. \u201cThey can enter hip-hop territory; they can enter alternative territory,\u201d he says. \u201cThey can do a lot of genres at once, and they feel comfortable in all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Should Win
\nMon Laferte \u2013\u00a0Autopoi\u00e9tica<\/em>
\n<\/strong>A lot of people are gambling on Mon Laferte \u2014 and for good reason. \u201cIt would be a good indicator of her musical career. We\u2019re talking about an artist who has spent much more than a decade in the music scene, and she still hasn\u2019t won an Anglo Grammy,\u201d Mercado says. He also notes that the album\u2019s theme of reinvention and recreation would make a win particularly satisfying.<\/p>\n

Who Will Win
\nNathy Peluso \u2013\u00a0Grasa
\n<\/em><\/strong>Peluso and Laferte stand out as having the biggest chance here. Both straddle the line between representing a more modern sound while having a foot rooted in the classics, and they\u2019ve been nominated before. In 2022, Mon Laferte\u2019s album\u00a0SEIS<\/em>\u00a0was up for Best M\u00fasica Mexicana Album, and in 2023, her project\u00a01940 Carmen<\/em>\u00a0was also a big contender for this category. Peluso, meanwhile, was here in 2022, when her debut\u00a0Calambre\u00a0<\/em>got a deserved nomination. It\u2019ll be close, but we expect Peluso to emerge the victor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

\nNxWorries (Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge) \u2013\u00a0Why Lawd?<\/em><\/p>\n

The Lowdown<\/strong>
\nSince its inception, the Grammy for Best Progressive R&B Album has been a liminal space in the genre, a place for music with mass appeal (like Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s\u00a0Lemonade<\/em>, which won in 2017) as well as more low-key sensations (like\u00a0Lucky Daye\u2019s\u00a0Table for Two<\/em>, 2022\u2019s winner). The category was first awarded as Best Urban Contemporary Album in 2013 and\u00a0renamed\u00a0and redefined in June 2020, always geared toward work a little left of traditional R&B\u2019s center. Unlike most previous years, 2025\u2019s field doesn\u2019t boast any obvious blockbusters, like in 2024, when SZA\u2019s\u00a0<\/em>SOS<\/em>\u00a0and Janelle Mon\u00e1e\u2019s\u00a0The Age of Pleasure<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>went head to head. Still, real heads know there was a bunch of great alternative R&B released this round, says Spotify\u2019s head of R&B Alaysia Sierra. And even with some big names in the running, like Childish Gambino, it could be anybody\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

Who Should Win
\nNxWorries (Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge) \u2013\u00a0Why Lawd?<\/em><\/strong>
\nWhy Lawd?<\/em>\u00a0is true to the spirit of the category, a feat of rap-and-B that weds beloved hip-hop techniques (including Knxwledge\u2019s keen ear for unique samples and Anderson .Paak\u2019s witty and vulnerable raps) to easy-listening sensibilities. Plus, NxWorries skillfully orchestrated a top-notch group of famous friends like Dave Chappelle, Thundercat, Charlie Willson, and H.E.R under their vision, rounding out a valiant effort that\u2019s as fun and fresh as it is heart-wrenching. \u201cI would lean more into the things that felt intentionally progressive,\u201d says Sierra, who is not a voter, but has been\u00a0recognized\u00a0by the Recording Academy as a leader in the field. \u201cAs a body of work, [Why Lawd<\/em>?] really speaks to what this category is meant to serve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Will Win<\/strong>
\nNxWorries (Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge) \u2013\u00a0Why Lawd?<\/em><\/strong>
\nThe vibey duo of eclectic producer Knxwledge and triple-threat-talent .Paak made a critically acclaimed, star-studded, and long-awaited sequel to their studio debut, 2016\u2019s\u00a0Yes Lawd!<\/em>, a cult favorite. What\u2019s more,\u00a0Why Lawd?<\/em>\u00a0comes after years of .Paak building not only familiarity but favor with Grammy voters, nabbing four awards as a solo act since 2019. Then, in 2022, he and Bruno Mars swept every category that their inescapable hit \u201cLeave the Door Open\u201d was nominated in. \u201cI think the Anderson element, after the years that he\u2019s had [and] with\u00a0Silk Sonic\u00a0will help elevate what NxWorries looks like to voters,\u201d says Sierra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

The Lowdown<\/strong>
\nIt took the Grammys until 1995 to carve out a separate award for Best Rock Album, and they royally screwed it up that year by handing it to\u00a0the Rolling Stones\u00a0for\u00a0Voodoo Lounge<\/em>\u00a0over\u00a0Pearl Jam\u2018s\u00a0Vs.<\/em>, R.E.M.\u2019s\u00a0Monster<\/em>, Soundgarden\u2019s\u00a0Superunknown<\/em>, and Neil Young\u2019s\u00a0Sleeps With Angels<\/em>. In the years since, they sometimes got it very right (Green Day\u2018s\u00a0American Idiot<\/em>, U2\u2019s\u00a0All That You Can\u2019t Leave Behind<\/em>, Bruce Springsteen\u2019s\u00a0The Rising<\/em>), but often got it very, very wrong (The Strokes\u2019\u00a0The New Abnormal<\/em>, Muse\u2019s\u00a0Drones<\/em>, and no less than\u00a0five<\/em>\u00a0Foo Fighters albums).\u00a0It\u2019s a competitive race this year with LPs by Green Day, Pearl Jam,\u00a0Idles, and the Stones.<\/p>\n

Who Should Win
\nThe Rolling Stones \u2013\u00a0Hackney Diamonds<\/em><\/strong>
\nPearl Jam, Green Day, and the Black Crowes all released stellar albums, but none stood miles above their best work of the Nineties or 2000s. Mick, Keith, and the band, meanwhile, haven\u2019t even attempted a record of new songs since the uneven\u00a0A Bigger Bang<\/em>. Most fans presumed they\u2019d never get around to it. And nobody expected anything even remotely on the level of\u00a0Hackney Diamonds<\/em>. The album is an absolute miracle and the Stones richly deserve another Grammy: The band has been awarded a scant three Grammys across their six-decade career. \u201cI really think it\u2019s going to the Stones this year,\u201d says SiriusXM DJ Justin Kade. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of how you give someone an MVP or lifetime achievement award.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who Will Win
\nThe Rolling Stones \u2013\u00a0Hackney Diamonds<\/em><\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s the tiredest of tired rock critic clich\u00e9s to say the Rolling Stones have made their best record since 1981\u2019s\u00a0Tattoo You<\/em>, but there\u2019s an actual argument that they actually pulled it off with\u00a0Hackney Diamonds<\/em>. Expectations were low since they hadn\u2019t released an album of original songs since 2005\u2019s\u00a0A Bigger Bang<\/em>, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are in their 80s now, and drummer Charlie Watts died in 2021. But working closely with producer Andrew Watt over the course of just a few weeks, they hammered out a series of excellent songs like \u201cAngry,\u201d \u201cSweet Sounds of Heaven,\u201d \u00a0and \u201cBite My Head Off\u201d that fit seamlessly into the set lists of their summer stadium tour. Says Jason Squires, program director of KFRR in Fresno, California: \u201cYou don\u2019t count these guys out ever, ever, ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
