The controversial Morgan Wallen was shut out, despite being one of the two commercially biggest artists during the nominating period, along with Bad Bunny. Not a single country artist made it into the top four general categories. It was not a landmark year for country music in the nominations, either, for that matter.
Anitta did make it into the best new artist field, as expected. There was also some thought that Rosalía might make it into one of the top categories, but that was not to be, as she landed just one nod, for best music film. That was the good news the bad news was that Bad Bunny landed only two nominations in all. Bad Bunny was nominated for what many consider the top prize, album of the year, for his blockbuster “Un Verano Sin Ti,” something few other non-English-language albums have accomplished since the Grammys began in the 1950s.
Latin music did not have the breakthrough presence in the general categories that some expected. The currently very hot Steve Lacy also landed in two of those three categories, being put into contention for both record and song for the recently chart-topping “Bad Habit.” For Blige, it has been 16 years since she last landed nods for record and album. Blige and ABBA, who both got put up for record of the year and album of the year, but not song. Among the artists who did better than predicted in those top categories are Mary J.
