Not anymore.

I don't know which of the songs included in Harlequin would be considered part of the Great American Songbook, but regardless, the category has already been expanded to include contemporary songs performed in the traditional pop style.

Hence, recent winners were Norah Jones' "Visions" and Laufey's "Bewitched" — both albums comprising original songs.

Yeah the category always included original albums that had its style similar to traditional pop songs from the US like the Great American Songbook or Tin Pan Valley, but not necessarily songs written in that canon.

Harlequin is more than fit for that category.

Thats def her most likely chance but Sabrina is still a contender. Now I see her as the winner but we will have to see.

I think monsters are having too high of expectations for AOTY win and will fall in big disappointment. Kendrick is a clear frontrunner, Bad Bunny might get momentum for the political climate (grammys been more progressive lately) and Elton John & Brandi Carlile album might get attention from many genres. AOTY race is very strong and Gaga is only one in the mix, not a runaway favorite at all.

 

Sabrina's album fell considerably more flat that SnS, which was her previous year. No artist has ever won Pop Vocal twice in consecutive years as well. If Gaga is nominated in here, its a lock for her for sure. The issue is there are rumors Mayhem was moved to Dance Electronic Album, which might be a bad thing because the Dance voters are much more closed off than pop and Mayhem is more synth pop that edm. I still think she could win in Dance Electronic, but I would rather her stay in Pop. 

As for the AOTY race, I have spken extensively about this in this forum, but in a nutshell, Gaga IS a front runner. There are only three possible contenders: Her, Kendrick and Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny's downfall is that his album is totally in Spanish and as much as the progressive attitude of the Academy is true, the big visible wave of immigration issues happened months ago and its possible its impact on voters could be fading. He is also a much more global artist than a domestic one. Yes, I agree he has a shot and his album was acclaimed, but I do have to remind everyone that never has a latin album won AOTY before and I cannot stress enough how tone deaf American are, which conform the majority of the voters. According to the 2024 Membership report only 10% of the voting members are latinos, while 49% are white, and Debi Tirar Mas Fotos only truly hits if you're latino. Im sure some white voters will empathize and agree that its an important record, but no enough to pull him to the top. 66% is also over 40 . Will they even try to be progressive? In a weaker year, sure he could win. In a year like this one, the nomination is his price. 

As for Kendrick, the only think keeping him in the race is his reputation and "overdue" narrative, which we know is effective given Beyonces win this year. He is the #1 choise and everyone knows this. His only two potential downfalls are the following: 1. He is not campaiging at all, and 2. Vote splits + Voter fatigue. Kendrick has not released a new single, done talk show appearances, performances, social media, nothing at all since the superbowl. He is radio silent (probbaly to avoid voter fatigue). People remember him because he smashed on 2024. However, as remembered as he may be, if someone else campaigns hard enough, his silence will allow for them to overtake the race. Secondly, he already won ROTY and SOTY last award season. A kendrick sweep is unlikely, as winning these categories back to back has never happened before either. There's also politics involved. The Grammys have notoriously hand picked winners and they might be swayed to give at least one of these to someone else to keep the show entertaining. Finally, The Weekend and Justin Bieber could earn AOTY noms and steal his much needed votes in the RnB fields. Chromakopia could also be nominated and steal a few from hip hop. And kendrick NEEDS to gather enough votes across all genres to beat whoever is the POP album nominee (spoiler alert, it will be Gaga). 

Gaga has the current most strong campaign. She reinvigorated the album with The Dead Dance and the voting muscle she will have is the largest of the whole voting block. Unless another pop album splits her force (Sabrina, I hoep you dont pull anything funny), Gaga will have the better odds statistically speaking on paper. 

Not saying Gaga will win, but her changes are pretty much there, and this race is pretty much reduced to this 3. No ones else has the voting muscle to pull it off.

Does anyone know why Kworb no longer updates the youtube stats daily, and why they lump either 2 days or like 1.5 days into one?

Pretty much every song except for FAD and HM is in the Great American Songbook.
