Second year in a row where the artist with the biggest Hot 100 song of the year received absolutely no grammy nominations To be fair to miss Dua, she didn't submit "Levitating" remix for a good reason, the rest of her album was not eligible, and "Cold Heart" was only eligible on a small category. |

Oh yeah I know the logistics, just thought it was an interesting fact. Were Love Again and We're Good not eligible? |

In fact, none of the projected YE top 5 was nominated, and I can’t recall the last time that ever happened. |

"We're Good", I'm not sure, but it wasn't submitted by her team. "Demeanor" was sent by Pop Smoke's people and "Cold Heart" was eligible on a single category since it interpolates old songs. |

Leave The Door Open is nominated for both ROTY and SOTY, and it's projected to be #5 on the Year End Hot 100. Still, the lack of the top 4 is indeed shocking, even if you exclude LTDO. |

Louis C.K. is Grammy nominated, never let anyone ever tell you cancel culture works or is a real thing.

I'm pretty sure LTDO will be #6 or #7, with Good 4 U at #5. (in that case G4U was nominated for Music Video but idk if we're counting that) |

The two predictors I trust most both have LTDO at #7, so we’ll see how that pans out. Looking at what’s in that top 5, though: Levitating and Blinding Lights were ineligible, the remix of Save Your Tears is technically eligible but The Weeknd chose not to submit it for good reason, and Olivia’s team chose to nominate Drivers License instead of Good 4 U for the big categories. That leaves Mood getting blanked, which IMO was the biggest shock among all these songs. I know the song is from forever ago, but you’d think it would’ve been remembered well enough for at least a Best Pop Duo/Group Performance nod. EDIT: I wasn’t aware before posting that G4U got a Best Music Video nod, but that’s more part of the visual medium than it is the musical anyway. |

Mood wasn't eligible either. It was released July 24, 2020, outside of the eligibility period of Sep 1, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021.

Second year in a row where the artist with the biggest Hot 100 song of the year received absolutely no grammy nominations What was Dua Lipa even eligible for? Considering the album that #1 song of the year was from won Pop Album last year, I don't see how this is even a parallel to The Weeknd. |

LEVITATING LIVES TO SEE ANOTHER DAY!
Now that we are past Taylor, its Adele's chance to take it down. I highly doubt it'll happen though seeing that Levitating actually rose this past week (18-17). Christmas is a totally different story though, the biggest question is if Billboard will let it return or have it gone forever. How is Levitating doing in comparison to Blinding Lights this same time last year?

The whole point of Adele’s dominance was it defied the market. 21 sold over 12 million in a time when albums were struggling to sell 2 million. 25 was the fastest selling album in history in a time where album sales declined 80% from when NSYNC originally had the fastest selling album. So “the market has changed” excuse makes no sense when we are talking about Adele’s expectations… someone who did not perform relative to the market and its changes. She just isn’t such an enormous outlier in success anymore. Oh well. It was going to happen eventually. It was going to happen anyway, so why is everyone so surprised/disappointed/excited as if they didn’t expect it now? I think the changing market is a huge reason why Adele’s numbers are what they are now. Excuse or not, it totally makes sense. |

I remember "Mood" rocketing up then stalling out in the top 5 before ultimately bouncing in and out of the top spot for months. After the New Year I could see radio jumping on "Meet Me At Our Spot" in a big way. |

On some level she's still defying expectations, its just that those expectations are significantly lower now than they were in 2015. And the fact that Taylor and Drake are the only artists on her level says something about the dominance of all three of them. |

I think the changing market is a huge reason why Adele’s numbers are what they are now. Excuse or not, it totally makes sense. Even if the market didn’t change I think there still would have been a heavy decline this era. As said in the HITS thread, 25 sold so much because it was the hype of coming off the arguable biggest album in history. It moved about 75% of its units in barely 5 weeks. Now that she was going into an album without coming off the biggest album ever previously there was going to be a notable decline. The same situation happened with MJ. “Dangerous” had pretty relatively normal sales and single charting for a superstar after the hype for Thriller going into Bad wore off. |

Why are we ignoring the fact that Dr. Luke is nominated for SOTY? Why are they allowing him to get nominated?

Blinding Lights crowned as the biggest Billboard song of all-time on the same day the gram*y nominations were announced. You love to see it.

I'm not a big Weeknd fan, but I'll take Blinding Lights any day over the 60s version of Watch Me (Whip / Nae Nae.) Congrats. ”The Twist” was a bit more than that but I wouldn’t expect you to know that. Actually, “The Twist” was the biggest cultural phenomenon of the 60’s until the Beatles came along a few years later. |

Cold Heart has just been discounted, so it will likely make the Top 10 this tracking week.

When was the last time a song was number one in airplay, sales, and streams the same week? Easy on Me looks like it’ll get it this week, I can’t think of a song that did that since Despacito and Closer
