Who’s going to win the Big Four Grammy awards?

Album of the Year:  Bad Bunny – Debí Tirar Más Fotos (front-runner in many predictions due to massive cultural impact), Lady Gaga – Mayhem, Kendrick Lamar – GNX, Sabrina Carpenter – Man's Best Friend, Justin Bieber – Swag, Clipse – Let God Sort Em Out, Tyler, the Creator – Chromakopia, Leon Thomas – Mutt. Predictions often favor Bad Bunny or Kendrick Lamar.

Record of the Year: Bad Bunny – “DTMF”, Kendrick Lamar & SZA – “luther”, Lady Gaga – “Abracadabra”, Rosé & Bruno Mars – “APT.”, Sabrina Carpenter – “Manchild”, Doechii – “Anxiety”, Chappell Roan – “The Subway”, Billie Eilish – “Wildflower”. Many lean toward “luther” or “APT.” for crossover appeal.

Grammy Award Predictions

Pre-ceremony odds and expert picks(from Variety, Billboard, Gold Derby, Pitchfork, The Guardian, AP, and Polymarket heavily favor:

Bad Bunny for Album of the Year
