Record of the Year
“DtMF” – Bad Bunny
“Manchild” – Sabrina Carpenter
“Anxiety” – Doechii
“Wildflower” – Billie Eilish
“Abracadabra” – Lady Gaga
“Luther” – Kendrick Lamar With SZA
“The Subway” – Chappell Roan
“APT.” – Rosé, Bruno Mars
**so like either Gaga or Sabrina, they were touring like crazy this year or Chappell cuz she has a huge fan base and even Rose APT dominated the radio for real, doechii was good as well. Gaga is extending her tour so I'm choosing her, Coachella really spearheaded this amazing album
just I feel like she just did a couple festivals and is just now starting to tour, even though her song dominated radio for a bit, it had huge reach from TikTok sound bits but for me at least it just made me love Somebody I Used to Know a bit more...
Album of the Year
Debí Tirar Más Fotos – Bad Bunny
Swag – Justin Bieber
Man’s Best Friend – Sabrina Carpenter
Let God Sort Em Out – Clipse, Pusha T & Malice
Mayhem – Lady Gaga
GNX – Kendrick Lamar
Mutt – Leon Thomas
Chromakopia – Tyler, the Creator
***so this for sure Sabrina, because honestly know a majority of the songs on the album and I am not even a super fan, she's dominated the radio and even is headlining Coachella next year, she has so much momentum coming into next year, it feels like next year could be her like Taylor Swift year.
Mayhem was like perfect though and I am not a huge gaga fan as well, Bieber I need to check out his album before Coachella! I am Purpose album girl I think...huge bangers.

Best New Artist
Olivia Dean
Katseye
The Marias
Addison Rae
Sombr
Leon Thomas
Alex Warren
Lola Young
***because he is playing the biggest venues next year, oh Olivia might be doing arenas next year as well, so either, he may have performed at bigger festivals and awards than she has so him,
but depended on if people are voting for best new artist this past year or best meaning biggest potential...I could low key see Leon Thomas blow up since he is a producer and could eventually do tours himself
Best Pop Solo Performance
“Daisies” — Justin Bieber
“Manchild” — Sabrina Carpenter
“Disease” — Lady Gaga
“The Subway” — Chappell Roan
“Messy” — Lola Young
***Like I said its like Sabrinas and Gaga's year and honestly, like Sabrina is killing it and is set of rnext year, gaga had a stellar year last year, Manchild is a better song in my opinion,
Chappell's song is good, she isn't touring beside the small popup dates and a few festivals, and I hope Lola gets better saw about her fainting and had to postpone her tour for health, stay healthy everyone.....

“Golden [From “KPop Demon Hunters”]” – HUNTR/X: EJAE, Audrey Nuna, Rei Ami
“Gabriela” – Katseye

“30 for 30” – SZA With Kendrick Lamar
***APT might have the most views on YouTube and biggest song, and Rose has a massive fanbase, Golden could win if it was fan voted cuz of all the kids loving the song from the movie, maybe Defying Gravity but maybe too niche since it's a musical like Demon Hunters
