Pop

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards could prove to be historical, with a number of firsts for the award show. The Album Of The Year category has its first Spanish-language album nomination in Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti, while the BTS song “Yet To Come” is the first Korean-language song to be nominated for a Grammy (it’s up for Best Music Video).

Meanwhile, Beyoncé — the most-nominated artist at this year’s Grammys with nine nods — has matched her husband Jay-Z for most nominations ever, as well as the opportunity to become the most-awarded artist ever with just four wins.

Check out our predictions for who we think will win (and should win) in both the Big Four and Rap categories, as this list will be updated as winners are announced.
