EOY 2017: Grammy Nominations (Record, Album)
EOY 2017: Grammy Nominations (Record, Album)
The Grammy nominations are out. Here are the nominees for Record of the Year and Album of the Year, which will be added to the respective EOY spreadsheets:
Record Of The Year:
“Redbone” — Childish Gambino
“Despacito” — Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee Featuring Justin Bieber
“The Story Of O.J.” — Jay-Z
“HUMBLE.” — Kendrick Lamar
“24K Magic” — Bruno Mars
Album Of The Year:
“Awaken, My Love!” — Childish Gambino
4:44 — Jay-Z
DAMN. — Kendrick Lamar
Melodrama — Lorde
24K Magic — Bruno Mars
Remember, Record of the Year is for the overall recording, while Song of the Year is strictly for the songwriters themselves. For the record (no pun intended), here are those nominees as well:
Song Of The Year:
“Despacito” — Ramón Ayala, Justin Bieber, Jason “Poo Bear” Boyd, Erika Ender, Luis Fonsi & Marty James Garton, songwriters (Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee Featuring Justin Bieber)
“4:44” — Shawn Carter & Dion Wilson, songwriters (Jay-Z)
“Issues” — Benny Blanco, Mikkel Storleer Eriksen, Tor Erik Hermansen, Julia Michaels & Justin Drew Tranter, songwriters (Julia Michaels)
“1-800-273-8255” — Alessia Caracciolo, Sir Robert Bryson Hall II, Arjun Ivatury & Khalid Robinson, songwriters (Logic Featuring Alessia Cara & Khalid)
“That’s What I Like” — Christopher Brody Brown, James Fauntleroy, Philip Lawrence, Bruno Mars, Ray Charles McCullough II, Jeremy Reeves, Ray Romulus & Jonathan Yip, songwriters (Bruno Mars)
Also note that because of the way the Grammys define "the year," Taylor Swift won't be eligible until 2018. Maybe they'll make up for TPAB losing to 1989 by giving Kendrick AOTY this time around, but that's not a sure thing. Jay-Z has the most overall nominations, so this might be his year.

Should we post the genre categories as well?

You can post whatever you want, but only the overall Record and Album nominees are going on their respective spreadsheets.StevieFan13 wrote:Should we post the genre categories as well?

Re: EOY 2017: Grammy Nominations (Record, Album)
Henrik, what's the verdict here? Wouldn't this mean going back and adding every genre album of the year Grammy from all previous years? Also, this would add an unwieldy number of columns to the EOY spreadsheet.StevieFan13 wrote:But genre lists count now.Harold wrote:You can post whatever you want, but only the overall Record and Album nominees are going on their respective spreadsheets.StevieFan13 wrote:Should we post the genre categories as well?
I'll say this now: I am not adding every single EOY genre list from every single eligible source to the EOY spreadsheet. That's just not going to happen.

What about Latin Grammy?
Re: EOY 2017: Grammy Nominations (Record, Album)
I will still never understand why we take Record of the Year but not Song of the Year into consideration. Record of the Year of the year only takes the proudction and vocals into considerations not the lyrics. Song of the Year takes the lyrics into consideration. So they both make up the whole of what a song can be. Production/vocals + lyrics. This rule needs to be evaluated again because I think both Record of the Year and Song of the Year should be taken into consideration.

Re: EOY 2017: Grammy Nominations (Record, Album)
As song of the year is for lyrics/songwriting alone I don’t think it is appropriate for AM. So I’m thinking either keep record of the year or remove that too.TVFan365 wrote:I will still never understand why we take Record of the Year but not Song of the Year into consideration.

If these categories are non-overlapping, then why is often a song nominated for both Record and Song?

Thanks. And, sorry if my earlier post came off a little defensive - I just don't want to expand my workload here any more than necessary, because, you know, life and work and sanity and stuff like that.StevieFan13 wrote:I’d agree that EOY genre lists shouldn’t count.

Re: EOY 2017: Grammy Nominations (Record, Album)
For the same reason the Oscar nominees for Best Picture, Director and Writing almost always overlap - art and pop culture is often celebrated for the sum of its parts. With voting bodies this large, there isn't any singular push for people to try and vote for their favorite song lyrics vs. their favorite song production. Sometimes it sticks out, but often it's inevitably just their favorite song.Henrik wrote:As song of the year is for lyrics/songwriting alone I don’t think it is appropriate for AM.

Shows in this website too - the artists in the top 10 of every EOY Album list always closely resemble the artists in the top 10 of every EOY Songs list. It's a result of large, unorganized, though similarly minded voting populations.

I'm pretty sure the American Songwriter list that comes out every year are for lyrics/songwriting.Henrik wrote:As song of the year is for lyrics/songwriting alone I don’t think it is appropriate for AM.
