Grammys 2026 Forecast: Predicting the Worthy Winners
The Grammy Awards are set to take place on February 1, 2026. The event will be hosted for the sixth and final time by comedian Trevor Noah. This year’s ceremony promises excitement with Kendrick Lamar leading the nominations count at nine. He is nominated in key categories he previously won in 2025, including Record of the Year.
Who’s Nominated?
Following Lamar, Lady Gaga, Jack Antonoff, and Cirkut are tied with seven nominations each. The evening will unfold at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, starting at 8 p.m. EST, broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+.
Record of the Year Predictions
- Bad Bunny: “DTMF”
- Billie Eilish: “Wildflower”
- Chappell Roan: “The Subway”
- Doechii: “Anxiety”
- Kendrick Lamar & SZA: “Luther”
- Lady Gaga: “Abracadabra”
- Rosé & Bruno Mars: “APT.”
- Sabrina Carpenter: “Manchild”
Among these, our prediction suggests that Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra” deserves to win, while we anticipate “APT.” by Rosé and Bruno Mars taking home the award. The competition for this year’s Record of the Year appears fierce.
Key Factors for the Winners
Ubiquity often plays a significant role during Grammy season. The more familiar a song is, the better its chance. “The Subway” has enjoyed a well-publicized promotional campaign tying it to New York’s transit system. Similarly, Bad Bunny’s performance of “DTMF” at the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show will keep him in the public eye.
The Grammy voters frequently reward tracks with mainstream appeal. “APT.” stands out in 2026 as a favorite, with its wide appeal across generations. It also holds the distinction of potentially making Rosé the first K-pop artist to win in this category, in a year when the Grammys seem increasingly intrigued by global talent.
Album of the Year Contenders
- Bad Bunny: Debí Tirar Más Fotos
- Clipse & Pusha T: Let God Sort Em Out
- Justin Bieber: Swag
- Kendrick Lamar: GNX
- Lady Gaga: Mayhem
- Leon Thomas: Mutt
- Sabrina Carpenter: Man’s Best Friend
- Tyler, the Creator: Chromakopia
The race for Album of the Year features artists like Bad Bunny and Lady Gaga prominently. Our favorite pick is Bad Bunny’s “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” which seems well-positioned for a win.
As the Grammy Awards approach, excitement builds for these noteworthy musical accomplishments. The final results will reveal which artists are recognized for their hard work and creativity over the past year.
