sipthistea 21,099 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I don't get it. ARTPOP was one of the best pop records of 2013, yet the Grammys decided to completely ignore it. Even Do What U Want deserved a nod for Best Collaboration Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley James Everett 27 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I know the answer! it would be a lot to type. It goes beyond just the grammys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster34 974 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Because ARTPOP was stuck in limbo. For a Pop record to win Grammys, it either needs to be super popular (a la Adele) or non-commercially artistic (a la Beck). ARTPOP was neither. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

juju 18,907 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 ARTPOP was snubbed by everyone, the Grammys were just trying to be hip. ❤ x ❤ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biagio2103 6,151 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 There were many pop albums in 2013, and since Gaga had the weakest commercial success, the Academy made the obvious move. They had amazing albums like Ghost Stories (Coldplay), X (Ed Sheeran) and In the lonely Hour (Sam Smith), the other submissions were Bangerz (Miley), My Everything (Ariana), Prism (Katy) and ARTPOP. According to the critics (Metacritic), My Everything (64) is better than ARTPOP (61), Prism (61) and Bangerz (61). There was still one spot left, and the three reamining albums had the same critics, so they voted for the most successfull ones (Both Bangerz and Prism had two big hits, and both debuted with a higher amount of copies sold than ARTPOP, so they had the same amount of votes from the members). That year we also had so many strong collaborations, and since R. Kelly was involved in a controversy for sexual assault, the Academy prefered not to nominate Do What U Want. Besides, Gypsy and Dope were not that strong either to be considered. And Applause was out of the deadline (they didn't nominate it a year before because it wasn't that big, unlike Roar). I'm only good at being bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gagzus 15,849 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 it's because the grammy's has become a popularity contest in the last 10 years. just looks at the last few AOTY winners when there we multiple albums better than those in that year. My theory is it was snubbed because of the hate she experienced, for example it was 100% the best EDM album and should've been nominated for and won in the BE/DA category Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtGagaPop 61,940 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 didn't care then and didn't care now. ARTPOP was a good album but not really worth of grammys. Now on the other hand, if MR doesn't win atleast 1 grammys 2018, then.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
