Who’s Taking Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys? Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny, Kendrick Lamar Or...?
1Description
It’s (probably) way too early—but that’s never stopped us before. In this episode, I’m breaking down the frontrunners, dark horses, and long shots for the 2026 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. From Kendrick Lamar’s GNX and SZA’s LANA, to Lady Gaga’s chaotic Mayhem, Bad Bunny’s DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, and the unexpected power duo of Elton John and Brandi Carlile, I’m diving into who’s got the momentum—and who might get snubbed. I also look at whether Charli’s remix album can break through, if Wicked could pull a Black Panther, and how artists like The Weeknd, Haim, and Lorde are staging their Grammy comebacks. Plus, I touch on potential releases from Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat, Ed Sheeran, and more.
Also in this episode: I cover some of the week’s biggest music headlines, including the newly revealed tracklist for Miley Cyrus’ Something Beautiful (dropping May 30), the Eurovision 2025 winner, and the viral chart takeover from Charli XCX and Ariana Grande.
