The best new artist contest at January’s Grammy Awards is shaping up to be one of the most competitive races we’ve seen in years. At one point, it seemed like 17-year-old Billie Eilish, the biggest…
, whose “Old Town Road” had spent a record-breaking 19 weeks at the summit. With that ascension, best new artist feels like a two-woman showdown.may dominate the 2020 ceremony like no female newcomer has since Adele, 2009’s best new artist, burst onto the Grammy scene a decade ago, scoring four major nominations for “19,” her debut album. It actually would be the continuation of a Grammy trend.
They also record music in completely different genres, which means they’d overlap only in the four major Grammy categories: album of the year, record of the year and song of the year, on top of best new artist. Eilish, an edgy, emo-soulful, electro-pop diva in a sensible tracksuit, also might be a contender in best pop solo performance and best pop vocal album. That would leave her with at least six nominations.
But is it possible we could see a disqualification in the best new artist race? Sure things have been excluded before. Whitney Houston and Richard Marx were nixed in the ’80s because of minor tracks released the year before their solo breakthroughs. The rules were made stricter after Shelby Lynne won on her sixth album in 2001. Now, any act that’s released 30 tracks or more before the eligibility period is supposed to be out.
