Will both Billie Eilish and Lizzo be nominated in the top four categories? Will Taylor Swift’s “Lover” get recognized? And will Beyoncé be feted?
The nominations also come at “a time of optimism” in the music business, according to David Bakula, an analyst with Nielsen, which tracks the industry. Music consumption is up 16% so far this year over 2018 thanks in large part to the widespread adoption of digital streaming, which has begun to make up some of the losses caused when the shift to downloading decimated sales of pricier physical product.
And for all the apparent certainty of a duel between Lizzo and Eilish — which would represent the first time two artists have swept the major categories in the same year — plenty of questions remain about the nominations for the 62nd annual ceremony, set to be broadcast Jan. 26 on CBS from Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Swift, who’s currently embroiled in a public dispute with two industry power players over rights to her older work, is also in the running for record of the year with her would-be LGBTQ anthem “You Need to Calm Down.” But it’s hard to imagine a single more deserving of that award than “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X’s
