was streamed by fans all year, becoming the first Spanish-language album nominated for AOTY.
With so much shiny competition — and opportunity to send a strong message — it’s hard for me to see the Academy settling for Adele once again . A win for Kendrick Lamar would also recognize a wildly influential Black artist overdue for an AOTY trophy, while one for Bad Bunny would achieve leaps and bounds of progress in the Academy’s recognition of global music.
That said, when my calculations get this complicated, I think it’s best to not overthink it. The Academy doesn’t always do well under the microscope, but at the same time, this Academy is younger and more diverse than the one of 2017.splits the difference between almost everything I mentioned above, as a hotly anticipated, “they don’t make them like this anymore” good album that defined the year from a Black woman without an Album of the Year Grammy.
