Rolling Stone predicts MAYHEM for Album Of The Year

[Princess Diana 24,506]

Who Will Win?

Lady Gaga, Mayhem
Gaga scored three consecutive Album of the Year nominations beginning in 2010 with The Fame, followed up by The Fame Monster the next year, and Born This Way in 2012. But more than a decade later, she has experience on her side now, not to mention a stunner of an LP in Mayhem. “Lady Gaga always feels like a strong contender for this category,” says John Stein, head of North America Editorial at Spotify. “And [her being a] household name helps here.” Mayhem may actually benefit from the competition too, Stein says: “I think it might win based on vote splitting.”

The last time Rolling Stone got the right prediction was for Folklore, 2021.

Musically speaking, there is no better option to win this year. MAYHEM is a triumph and a pure celebration of so many musical genres. Her best work to date in my opinion.

I actually think it’s gonna win and then boozt abracadabra to being the number one hit it deserves a la million reasons (superbowl 2017)

We love Rolling Stone again

Would Rolling Stone lie?

Considering that they give TLOAS a 5/5

I feel like they just sealed her fate of losing (again) because they rarely get these predictions right 

so goodbye AOTY 2026

I also feel like whenever these articles come out, they make people less likely to vote for her by using the "well everyone else is gonna vote for her, lemme be different and vote for someone else" thought process.

literally they're setting her up to lose imo. 

and I don't trust the intentions of a media publication like RS who literally just gave 5 stars to the most mediocre album released this year...

stans take these awards predictors way too seriously, they do not have the power to sway things in one way or another lol, it's just people in the industry doing whatever the hell they feel like doing

I'm glad she's in the winning conversation 

[Anderson123 43,056]

Thank you Rolling Stone, you just jinxed it. Go back to your ridiculous 5/5 reviews. 

[LadyxGaGa 3,256]

**** yesssssss!!!!

 

 

if rolling stone is rooting for gaga than that’s deff a good sign that others are rooting for her too

if that was true then no publication will ever get any prediction right then, why would that only apply to her?

[Nagini 4,303]

YES! KEEP THE NARRATIVE GOING! Our girlie deserves this so much, I know it will happen. 

[LG2008 6,394]

Aren't their predictions always off? 

This better be the first time they get something right
