I just feel giving AOTY to Adele for a third time feels so predictable.

Expecting the worst (for AOTY), however optimistically hoping for the best.

I just don’t understand why her streaming numbers are not higher, even with Cuff It’s massive success on TikTok, the numbers are still not as big as you would expect. Surely her core fanbase isn’t that much older than the likes of Gaga… Is it the genre? Is it bc she doesn’t get enough white gay streams? (lol) Is it bc she doesn’t get playlisted as much? I know very little about streaming but def curious.

She has always been more "hype" than "numbers" that backed the "hype" throughout her time in the industry.

I just feel giving AOTY to Adele for a third time feels so predictable. They give it to her like an attendance award lmao, this definitely deserves over every other album in the nominations pool this year. Also, Virgo's Groove really might just finally dethrone Sweet Dreams as my favorite from her. Though tbf my nostalgia for 2008-2009 pop girl stuff is insanely powerful since stuff like Circus, Disturbia, and Paparazzi still remain career favorites, truly was a pop gold mine.

Sure, she’s not a giant when it comes to sales, but she’s still comfortably Top 10 or even Top 5 of the year whenever she releases a solo album. With streaming, she can barely stay in Top 40 on the artist chart even with a current hit, with people like Lady Gaga not far behind her despite not having recently released an album. So there is definitely a disconnect when it comes to streaming.

I haven’t stopped listening to this album since the day it came out. It is literally on repeat at least four times a week. I don’t know if it’s her best work objectively, but it’s certainly my favorite.

Her legacy is selling her now. IMO, she’s like Mariah where people will always seek out because of her name—and we know Mariah has Christmas on lock so when this time comes around, she’s an automatic choice for Christmas music. Beyoncé has done well in that sense to have enough interest in her solo music—as we can see how she builds such a huge platform just on her visuals alone.

I don't know what chart y'all talking about. but if you're talking about spotify.. you should re-learn your thought process, far away from stan twitter talking point.. lol not only spotify is not the only platform, black artists has huge presence on Apple Music.
and I don't even know what number y'all talking ab out, Renaissance literally did 185M first week. gaga did 86m ish. renassance is doing better than chromatica.. and all the other peers around her age. and this is without all that promotion.
also cuff it randomg song reaching top 20 just like that is big enough.. lol it's not like she's out there promoting it.

Well she’s going into her third decade of her career while Gaga is a 10s artist. Well, Beyoncé released her first solo album in 2003 and Gaga in 2008 so I'm not sure the public perceives Beyoncé as that much older. One could even make a case that both peaked (commercially speaking at least) around the same time 2008-2009.

She really dropped that all those fire teasers like the one for I'm That Girl and Cliquebait video for Break My Soul and then gave us nothing...we are STARVING for those visuals.

When does Grammy voting end? I expect the visuals to drop shortly before that for a final push

The final Grammy voting window is December 14th-January 4th. She dropped S/T on Dec 13th, time for a redo!

I think Renaissance may be my favorite album by her at this point. Definitely top 3!

I'm sure the visuals will be excellent but... it's been too long.
I'm here for whatever helps Cuff It go top 10 though.

I do hope she times the visuals release either with the Grammy voting period or in the new year. At least release videos for "Break My Soul" and "Cuff It". I'm already sad the former didn't get a video release which would've likely boosted its chart run and gave it more longevity. Now the latter has been smashing everywhere and stands a very good chance of the #1 on the Hot 100 post-Christmas, a video release would likely seal the deal.
