At least Beyoncé took some risks. AOTY isn't for most risky album, though. At least, it never has been in the past. That hasn't been the criteria for a win in that category.

It is an issue but in Beyonce's case, having sampled A LOT of lyrics and instrumentals from other artists, and relying on a village of writers and producers, your point about originality dies.

River 117,908 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I wouldn't give Adele or Beyonce AOTY, their albums were not good. Adele was the same repeatable love ballads that we heard on the previous album.. Beyonce, let's divide it to 2 different things: 1. The music itself - it was simply not good.. 2. The short movie - this one deserves a prize yes, it's a shame that she didn't win for this one but the Beatles won... but AOTY is about music and not about visuals.. so here is the reason why it's not AOTY + the singles were not successful at all (not talking about album sales but charts positions and radio plays). So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read that Solange tweet and believed her but I don't know where she got her source from. And they're the most awarded because of the many R&B and rap categories not because of the 4 major categories Actually, eleven different artists since 1958. (13, if you count Stevie- three times) Six in the past twenty years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, where did you see the 1958 tweet? I can't find it anywhere. I just found the "last 20 years" tweet, and even that one is wrong (thanks @Muscletank for letting me know).

Lemonade has 70 co writers so I understand why Adele's album of 5 writers would look better.
