Rooting for Jon Pardi and Midland in Best New Artist (even though one is not so new and the other is probably too new! LOL) I think their breakthrough was one of the most exciting things in country music this past year!

I'm curious where could we even see Dustin Lynch getting nominated. Entertainer is a definite no. Male Vocalist? Maybe but I have doubts there. Single or Song, probably not just cause I don't think either his songs were that big of hits during the eligibility period. Album is a definite no since it won't be released in time and I don't think that either "Small Town Boy" or "Seein Red" would get it for music video
I think he might get Male Vocalist and maybe single of the year. But those are huge IFS and I wouldn't be shocked if Dustin Lynch didn't get nominated whatsoever.

But he's been having hits since late 2014. Lauren Alaina and Jon Pardi make sense because they had their first real breakthrough. Dustin Lynch is about to get his fourth straight #1. Not to mention his Top 3 back in 2012 "Cowboys and Angels". Dustin Lynch is also on his third album now. I mean the ACMS did nominate Justin Moore in 2014 for new artist, but I figured the CMAS would rather nominate artists who had their big breakthrough within the past year.

Because I know Lauren Alaina is NOT a new artist. That's not being ignorant. But you're making it sound like a fact that she isn't a new artist and that anyone who does think she is a new artist is wrong. In many people's eyes she is a new artist. Lauren Alaina finished runner-up on a hugely successful TV show and had a debut album that went #2 on Country Albums (and top 5 overall). She's also had 5 songs make the top 40 on Country Songs. In no way is she a new artist. Period. This past year did she achieve a new level of success at country radio with 1 single? Sure. She can be seen as a 'breakthrough artist' on some level, which also may fall under the criteria for a New Artist award (I haven't read the rules). She isn't "new," though. There are people who don't know who Marvin Gaye is. If a song samples him on the hook and he's credited, does that make him a new artist because he's new to current listeners?

Here's the criteria for CMA New Artist of the year (from the CMA website): - showed significant creative growth & development - released only a debut or sophomore album - never won a CMA Award - not been nominated twice for CMA New Artist Award Based on that criteria, Lauren is eligible for a CMA New Artist Award. Dustin Lynch is, too. He's only released 2 albums.

Yes, by that criteria, she qualifies for the award. To me that is separate from whether she is actually a "new" artist in a general sense.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they nominate Glen Campbell for some cus he just died. Also if Jon Pardi gets a Male nomination it wouldn't surprise me.

Sam Hunt is eligible for Best New Artist nomination based on the CMA criteria. Wonder if Sam's label will push for a BNA nomination.

I wonder if the reason Dustin's 3rd album hasn't been released yet is because his label was gunning for his nomination for Best New Artist this year. The release of his 3rd album when either of his first two singles from it were peaking would've rendered him "too old" by the awards criteria.

I'm friends with a radio DJ from a major market station who is a member that votes for the nominations. He gave me a list of the finalists for female & male vocalist, album & entertainer nominees. I can tell you there is only one female artist, one duo and 7 male artists in the 9 finalists for entertainer of the year.

No the 5 top vote getters of the 9 will be the nominees and what's even more surprising is Miranda's album is not one of the 10 on the list!!! What?There will only be 5 of the 10 as nominees there as well.

I'm certainly sick of Miranda winning album of the year every time she releases one, but shit, if any of her albums deserves a win in that category its The Weight of These Wings...

WTH?!
If that's actually true it will be one of the most shocking omissions on CMA history for me, especially considering this year was pretty weak in terms of album releases.

WOAH. I'll believe it when I see it.
If that's true, I would NOT be shocked to see Carrie nominated for EOTY again - not that she really should be, but because it's about as unexpected as Miranda not being nominated for 'Album'...
ETA: just saw the original post, so if this source is correct, that's out of the question. Still, it'll be a massive shock.

No male vocalist for Eric? That's not that shocking since Male Vocalist is stacked and neither "Kill A Word" or "Round Here Buzz" have been that big of hits.

I was shocked to not see Cole Swindell's name on male vocalist either. He's had quite the year. Just wait until I post Song semifinalists. No Stapleton songs made the cut! I'm shocked about that as much as I am about Miranda.
