That's good to hear. Don't they usually wait till it peaks at country before getting an adds date elsewhere?

She is doing amazingly well, and "BA" is seemingly doing very well for album sales alsol.

The eligibility period was from July 1st, 2011, to June 30th, 2012. So with that, this is what nominations I can see her getting... - Single of the Year - "Good Girl"
- Album of the Year - Blown Away
- Female Vocalist of the Year
I see Miranda winning all of these categories, to be honest. CMA voters love her... but we'll have to see. Woah...I thought the eligibility period was earlier. I guess RM's chances for nominations were last year. That's pretty painful to see such a stellar collaboration not get any love, especially when they're the cohosts. Anyways, I really don't see Miranda winning all of these...at all. I also highly doubt that she'd win Single of the Year. "Over You" wasn't all that big as a single. Hell, GG was bigger than it. Carrie winning Female Vocalist doesn't seem all that far-fetched, either. Carrie's back in the race with Miranda this year. Last year? It was obvious Carrie was just a nomination. This year? It's between Miranda & Carrie. I don't think Miranda will win or even be nominated for Single, but OY was bigger than GG. I also think Miranda is going to win Female Vocalist, but Eric Church has a good chance to snag Album. "Springsteen" is going to be the Single of the Year, too. |

They each spent the same amount of time at #1 (1 week - Miranda was May 19, Carrie was June 16), GG outpeaked OY on the Hot 100 (18 vs. 35), OY's sales pale in comparison to GG's (has OY even passed 700k yet? It's Gold, but GG is already at 1.3 million), and critics were much more generous to GG than they were to OY. Both hit brick walls while climbing up the Country charts, so they're pretty much tied in terms of how their chart runs went. GG was clearly bigger. I can see either or both of them getting nominated for Single, but neither would win against "Springsteen", as you've already pointed out. Wouldn't stun me at all to see Eric win Album and/or Single, but I see Carrie, Miranda, and Eric as the three locks on nominations for Album. I think Miranda & Carrie are neck-and-neck for FVOTY. This is the first time in a couple of years I can actually say that I really don't know who it will go to. |

But, they don't always vote that way. |

Can albums be up for AOTY more than once at the CMAs (if they lose)?

But, they don't always vote that way. [/quote] The criteria for FVOTY encompasses a lot more than just vocals and it always has. It's basically a fancy way of saying Female Artist of the Year (I wish they'd just rename it to that). But even with all the other criteria, this is Carrie's year IMO. It's definitely between Miranda and Carrie, but I think Carrie has an edge this time around. She has "Remind Me" and "Good Girl" under her belt, both big hits, along with the BA album and all the performances she's done to promote it, plus the Australia and London tours. And, while "Blown Away" as a single is not eligible this year, it may still be in the minds of voters when they're casting their votes. I just think the buzz for Carrie is too big this year not to give it to her. A case can be made for Miranda too, yes, but it's not as big as Carrie's IMO. It'd be nice to see Carrie finally win another CMA. She hasn't won one since 2008. I think FVOTY is her best shot. I'd be ecstatic with AOTY too, but that category is really competitive so who knows how likely a BA win there is. |

This is the first time in a couple of years I can actually say that I really don't know who it will go to. I think I meant more in the fact that Good Girl was forgettable and typical Carrie, whereas Over You did get praise for the video and the backstory involving Blake's brother. I also didn't really remember OY stalling out like GG did before the push to #1, but I will 100% take your word for it and stand corrected on that! :) Carrie has a shot to beat Miranda for sure in FV. But the Blake/Miranda power couple angle is probably too strong. Aldean won't win MV either, and he clearly should. |

The rule you are describing is an ACM rule, not a CMA rule. It used to be that the ACM also deemed ineligible albums that had been nominated the previous year, but it looks like the rule changed so that only the previous year's winner is ineligible the following year. The CMA album rule (which I can't find on its website, unfortunately) requires that a certain percentage of the album (I believe it is sixty percent) be first mastered or released in the US during the relevant July to June eligibility period, which limits albums to one year of eligibility. |

Females Vocalist.
This year is going to be Carrie vs Miranda.
OY is as big as GG in term of radio airplay. Both peaked at number ones. So far, OY has more spins because it was released earlier than GG.
But in term of sales, GG slays OY.
i think Carrie will win this time. CMA voters has got to love Miranda, like that much, if they let she win again.
It's time to return the trophy to the right owner.

But Miranda toured all throughout the past year, while Carrie has been laying low and finishing the record. That's the only thing that I think may give Miranda the slight edge over Carrie at the CMAs this year.

75% of her album didn't gain prominence in the eligibility period. Who? Both Carrie's and Miranda's albums were released in the eligibility period. 'Four the Record' came out November 1, 2011, and 'Blown Away' came out May 1, 2012. As has been mentioned, the eligibility period was July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012, so both records gained most prominence during the eligibility period. |

Read this: I amn not talking about the release date; only "GG" gained prominence in the eligibility period, so technically one could say 75% of BA didn't gain prominence and therefore the album isn't eligible. |

Well the prominence doesn't matter as much as the eligibility period does. If the album isn't submitted this year, then it never can be submitted because this is its only year to be eligible. "75% prominent" or not, it'll be sent in for the nomination process this year, and I'm sure it'll receive a nod. |

Still not over how incredible she sounded at CMA songwriter series. She is the best female vocalist out there, right now. Bob DiPierro is right.
