I could see her sweeping as she hasn't lost one since she has been nominated. It will be interesting. Clearly, the committee did not want to over do it with her nominations as five is the perfect number for the biggest winner.

Well..she was nominated in all the categories she was submitted for with the exception of Best Long Form Music Video.

I just didn't remember what she submitted. I guess she wasn't nominated for Beyonce to win that one.

The nominations aren't surprising. Hope she wins a few....not wanting a sweep though.

I'd love for her to take 4/5 of those wins. The one she can lose is Pop Solo.

Since Bowie & Radiohead didn't make it, and they put Drake & Bieber in AOTY for distraction. Adele is the safe choice among these very disappoing noms, imo.

I'm having a feeling she won't sweep. Maybe 1 or two. You never know though.

Adele finishes 2016 in a familiar place: on top. Nearly five years after her last blockbuster album — 2011’s 21, which spent 24 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 — the 28-year-old British pop powerhouse returned as if she had never left, closing out 2016 as Billboard’s top artist for a record third time. (She previously ruled 2011 and 2012.) Long breaks between albums seem only to confirm that Adele’s adoring fan base will spring for new music no matter when it arrives. Her third studio album, 25, hit shelves on Nov. 20, 2015, with a blend of epic ballads and soulful pop similar to that on her sophomore hit, 21, and easily conquered the Billboard 200, blasting in at No. 1 with a Nielsen Music-era (1991 to the present) record of 3.4 million copies sold in its first week. So far, those sales have climbed to 9.1 million and counting. The album’s runaway success
is especially impressive — and indicative of Adele acolytes’ enduring loyalty — considering the fact that the singer initially shunned streaming services, denying 25 to Spotify until seven months after the album’s release. That didn’t hurt 25 one bit: It spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the weekly Billboard 200 (a chart driven by both track and album sales plus streaming) and is far and away the chart’s year-end winner. That Adele announced her
return with one of the year’s most inescapable singles certainly helped her clinch 2016’s top charts prize. “Hello” felt like a nod to listeners who had stuck out the last five years, going on to rule both the Billboard Hot 100 (staying at No. 1 for 10 weeks) and the pop culture landscape (see the numerous Lionel Richie vs. Adele “Hello” memes, a viral “Carpool Karaoke” segment and a “Hello”-inspired Saturday Night Live skit, for starters). The song closes out 2016 as
the Hot 100’s year-end No. 7 track — the second time Adele has finished within the top 10 on that list, following her No. 1 in 2011 with “Rolling in the Deep.” And it’s just one of 25’s triumphs: Two other tracks, “When We Were Young”
and “Send My Love (To Your New Lover),” charted in the weekly Hot 100’s top 20, and Adele went on to sell out a world tour, raking in more than $150 million from 100-plus shows across Europe and North America and finishing the year as the No. 4 tour.

Adele won't sweep because she'll go 4 for 5.
Record of the Year Song of the Year Pop Solo Performance Pop Vocal Album
She'll lose Album of the Year to Beyoncé or Sturgill Simpson.

Judging by the string of AOTY upsets that have occurred in the last two decades, I'm not banking on her or Bey winning. I won't be surprised if either does but Sturgill's the dark horse that people will love to vote for.

I don't find the cd better but I feel like "Lemonade" was almost marketed as one albumwith no standout tracks. Just sit back and listen to a story. I think "Lemonade" the cd being maketed as art will win album of the year or I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

I don't think that helps since Good Kid, M.A.A.D City couldn't win against the single driven album 1989. Adele also marketed album as a "collection of stories" while proving a force at radio more than Taylor ever did. "Hello" is also the biggest song she's ever released so that will only help her win.

Clearly, the committee did not want to over do it with her nominations as five is the perfect number for the biggest winner. She has lost three times in her career. Twice in 2009 (for Record of the Year and Song of the Year with "Chasing Pavements") and once in 2010 (for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance with "Hometown Glory").

I always forget about her first album. Also had no clue that she was nominated for Record and Song for "Chasing Pavements" that year. I thought just BNA.

Adele was nominated for four Grammys for her debut album, winning two (BNA and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Chasing Pavements"). She received another nomination the following year for "Hometown Glory." She has a pretty great track record with the Grammys.

I know Queen is about to be robbed this Sunday, but don't fret Queen because the people have spoken to the tune of close to 10 million stateside and nearly 20 million WW making you the ultimate Queen. #fuckthegrammys

What makes you think she's going to get robbed? At a minimum pop song and album is already in the bag. Plus she's highly favored to win song of the year.

Because I know Beyonce is a sure bet for AOTY, which Adele should get hands down if it's based solely on the music and/or popularity. But the grammys have become very political, and twitter like, and so has Beyonce. So I'm certain Beyonce is going to win based on that principal, which isn't fair in my opinion because Lemonade wasn't a good album visuals and bait aside, and the sales reflect that.

^The Grammy aren't supposed to be about sales/popularity either, but just so we're clear Lemonade sold over 1.5 million and was the third-best selling album of 2016 so it's a shaky argument to make anyway.
25's sales are the equivalent to Lemonade's visuals; it's the extra that shouldn't be considered in the vote but we all know is being considered. On the flip side, there are people who are worried Bey won't win precisely because of said politics - Adele is exactly the kind of artist Grammy voters like to vote for, while they have consistently been biased against r&b and hip-hop albums in the AOTY category.
And let's not act like the Grammys just became political overnight. They were just as political when Adele swept six years ago; only difference now is she has some actual competition to deal with, and we're not used to living in a world where Adele might lose. Every year is always a battle to see whose politics are the best, that's all. With Adele and Bey both signed to Columbia, it's even harder to predict who has the stronger vote pull. I won't be upset if 25 wins AOTY, but I for one am hoping they split the majors - it's hardly a robbing when you take ROTY and SOTY, and Adele is poised to do that (if anything her only threat in those categories is probably 7 Years - now that would be a real theft).

Omg. Restarting that performance. I just can't. She's lucky she's one of the most talented vocalists and performers to stand on that stage, and able to kill it on her second go, because anyone else would be shredded
