After Gaga broke through on the music scene a decade ago she achieved a rare feat by earning three AOTY straight nominations for three straight albums. Only Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Barbra Streisand, Stevie Wonder and Kanye West had achieved that feat before her, and it was even more impressive because Gaga did it with her firstthree albums in three consecutive years: “The Fame” in 2010, “The Fame Monster” in 2011 and “Born This Way” in 2012. But none of them won, and she hasn’t been nominated in that top category since.

So my  possible candidates for AOTY are:

A Star is Born (soundtrack) - Lady Gaga  (13/16)

Units Sold WW ~ 4.5 Mio.

Streams Spotify - 1.8 B.

Cultural Impact - huge (Movie, Oscar win, theme, etc.)

Thank U, next - Ariana Grande (12/16)

When we all fall asleep where do we go -  Billie Eilish  (9/16)

Spoiler

Cultural Impact - huge (younger audience, streamwise strong, new refreshing music style)

Strongest Songs WW Itunes- Bad Guy ~ 1.6 Tp / Bury a Friend 0.9 Tp

Map Of The Soul: Persona - BTS (6/16)

They also thought Gaga would win Best Original Song and she freaking did.

Touché

that being said, Gaga winning Best Original Song was really a given

[ViviLittleM 3]

It would have if Shallow wasn't the only single released.

So many missed smashes.

[Wet Fire 7,448]

It deserves it. But I don't see her taking the trophy. 

Thank U, Next and Billie Eilish will get noms of course. One of them might win. Lizzo and Solange also have chances nominations. And so does Taylor.

Don't see it happening and rightfully so. There are and will be albums that are ACTUAL albums and are more deserving of the win.

Do ya'll really think that Shallow, one song, is enough to secure an AOTY nomination? LMAO at you

No I think the fact that the album has acclaim is enough to get a nomination

and ALWAYS REMEMBER US THIS WAY as the best song written for visual media 

[Stephen 30,423]

You guys are dumb talking about it needing more singles lmfao. The ALBUM is a huge seller. It didn't need any more singles. This isn't a pop record.

[Didymus 34,379]

Wtf

I mean, it's a great soundtrack with plenty of stand-out songs but I can't imagine there won't be better choices for that category

Thank you! AOTY is not limited to whatever was a big pop record. In recent years Kacey Musgraves and Beck have won this award. Lol. 

Its about an album that made some sort of precedent while also being just a good ass album. And although billie and ariana had these really big albums that became popular....the Grammy committee ain't gonna give AOTY to Ariana writing about making money and dumpkng exes and I highly doubt they'll give it off to a newcomer's debut album like billie. She played with autotune and got creepy. Thats not some magnificent transformation. It sounded different but so did Lorde when she came out. And billie is not as big as Lorde was when she came out. 

Knowing the cutoff is in September....I really don't think Gaga has any true competition. I just don't. Nothing was as commercially AND critically viable while also being a real artistic evolution/risk like Gaga was with ASIB. I think that will make the committee kind of lean in Gaga's favor.

I even doubt if she can get the nomination
