Where are Replay, Babylon and Heavy Metal Lover?

Nothing wrong with the music, just calling it “X of the YEAR” when it literally had close to no impact on the public is misleading and people can rightly be upset about it.

Quality doesn't equal chart success. I thought we already know this.

Very rare for an artist to get both for the same album.

Why have most of this come from the past 20 years or so?

Seems suspicious to me

for me all Black Pumas' nominations are very suspicious.
Last year they were nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammy over mainstream pop acts to have more diversity in category. This year they got 3 nominations and 2 of them are in main categories and they only released Deluxe edition of their album just 3 days before end of eligibility period for Grammy but only digitally (physically they released it 2 weeks later) and their Deluxe version contains 5 covers, 4 live version of songs from original album(from 2019) and 3 new songs ... that is suspicious

I don't see anything suspicious, the Grammys nominate some alternative (or otherwise less commercial) music each year, and sometimes these songs win. Maybe they were more focused on the mainstream success in the past. And also, the alternative scene had less exposure before the 90's and 2000's
