As the 2024 Grammy Awards ceremony looms on the horizon, one particular category seems to loom large: album of the year. The Big Kahuna.
Every year, Best album is one of the most controversial races by far. And 2024 is no exception, given the excellence of each candidate: Taylor Swift's MidnightSZA's warning signOlivia Rodrigo's OFFAL, Miley Cyrus' Endless summer vacationLana Del Rey's Did you know there is a tunnel under Ocean BlvdBoygenius' The Recordby Jon Batiste World Music Radio and Janelle Monáe's The Age of Pleasure.
The AOTY category is extra interesting this year, for a few reasons. First, an overwhelming nine out of ten nominees are female musicians. Second, it will give Swift a chance to make history — if Midnight wins, He will set the record for most album of the year wins by any artist, currently tied with Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon. The pop star previously won gramophones for 2008 Fearlessof 2014 1989 and 2020 Folklore.
Last year, the award went to Harry Styles Harry's house above that of Beyoncé Renaissanceby Adele 30Bad Bunny's Un Verano Sin Ti and more. During his speech, the “As It Was” singer offered some words of wisdom to remember going into this year's show.
“I feel like on nights like tonight, there's no 'best in music,'” he told the crowd at the Crypto.com Arena. “I don't think any of us are sitting in the studio making decisions based on what one of these is going to get us.”
