Nominations for the 2021 Grammy Awards were announced Tuesday.
The 63rd annual ceremony will honor music released within the eligibility period, September 1, 2019 through August 31, 2020. The show will air live on January 31, 2021 at 8 pm ET on CBS.
This year’s list of nominees is, in part, refreshing: the historically male slots like best country album and best rock album are dominated by women; Megan Thee Stallion won recognition for her iconic hit “Savage,” including a nod to best new artist; Harry Styles was finally approved by the Grammys; Beyoncé leads the group with nine nominations, even though she did not release an album this year.
But there were also numerous errors and puzzling details that beg to be analyzed and debated.
In addition to many obvious slights, there are several eyebrow-raising nominees in this year’s group, whether it’s because they seemed out of place in a certain category, stole a spot from someone more deserving, or simply released mediocre music.
In particular, the category of album of the year 2021 hits like spaghetti that was thrown against a wall.
Read on for a list of the biggest mistakes, in no particular order.
