Chappell Roan’s Grammy Prospects: Aiming for a Historic Achievement
Chappell Roan has emerged as one of the standout music stars of the year, yet her potential Grammy nominations may be more limited than expected. Roan can secure up to six nominations from the Recording Academy, and among them, she has the chance to achieve a unique milestone by being nominated in all four major categories. Below is a detailed overview of her potential nominations:
Record of the Year — “Good Luck, Babe!”
Album of the Year — “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess”
Song of the Year — “Good Luck, Babe!”
Best New Artist
Best Pop Solo Performance — “Good Luck, Babe!”
Best Pop Vocal Album — “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess”
The elite group of 14 artists who have previously achieved the remarkable feat of nominations for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist includes notable names like Bobbie Gentry (1968), Cyndi Lauper (1985), and Billie Eilish (2020), among others. Historically, all but three of these artists went on to win the Best New Artist award.
However, the case of Finneas, who received a Best New Artist nomination while his major nominations were for other artists’ work, adds nuance to this list. While some may debate his inclusion, it remains a prestigious group to be associated with, as all listed artists are Grammy winners.
Current predictions from thousands of Gold Derby users suggest Roan is likely to be part of this exclusive club. She ranks highly for Album of the Year and is a strong contender for Best New Artist.
Nonetheless, Roan faces competition from fellow newcomer Sabrina Carpenter, who could also secure nominations in the top categories. Carpenter’s strategy of submitting her hit “Please Please Please” for Song of the Year in place of the widely popular “Espresso” has shifted expectations. As the nomination dates approach, Carpenter’s album “Short n’ Sweet” is also gaining traction, potentially leading to multiple young artists being recognized when nominations are unveiled on November 8.
