There were a lot of surprises in the Grammy nominations for pop, just as there were across all categories at the often head-scratching awards this year. Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift cleaned up, while Post Malone and The Weeknd were unexpectedly shut out of this field. But now that we know who the recording academy liked enough to nominate, which songs will they love enough to give the wins to?
Best Pop Solo Performance
There’s a lot to unpack in this category. It has six nominees, which means two of these songs tied in the nominations voting. Not only that, but all of these are top-10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, and all of these artists have nominations in other categories, indicating significant overall support from voters.
That said, we can probably cross out Bieber’s “Yummy” given that it wasn’t very well received and kinda fizzled out early in its chart run. This will likely be a battle between the other five. Doja Cat’s “Say So” was a smash, though she’s been plagued by controversy, and it doesn’t help that she’s going against more established Grammy players, so she might be left behind too.
Then there’s Harry Styles (“Watermelon Sugar”), who could upset, but who might not inspire the passion in voters that Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, and Taylor Swift carry this year; those three ladies have multiple nominations in the general field, where Styles has none. Since smash hits often win here, I’d go with Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now,” with Eilish (“Everything I Wanted”) and Swift (“Cardigan“) following close behind. Still, I wouldn’t be shocked at any of these last four winning.
