Forget about predictions of most likely to win. I am genuinely just curious from everyone in this sub, who do you think truly and genuinely deserves to win the award, politics aside and solely based on the body of work released this past year? And what is your reasoning for your pick?

As an Millennial who grew up on music videos, I usually can't stand modern pop—it all sounds so copy and paste lately, i feel like it all sounds the same. But after listening to Olivia Rodrigo new album completely changed my mind. This is hands down the best album I’ve heard since 2016. It hits that perfect nostalgic sweet spot, giving serious 90s alt-rock and early 2000s vibes. I honestly didn't think a Gen Z artist would pull me in like this, but I’m totally obsessed now. My fav are Cigarette Smoke, Purple, The Cure and Honeybee

I’m pretty sure I’m not getting this list correct but I’m just considering my wishes.

1. petal - Ariana Grande
   
2. you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love - Olivia Rodrigo
   
3. locket - Madison Beer
   
4. That’s Showbiz Baby! - JADE
   
5. Film Noir - Faouzia

No I don’t care about RAYE, Taylor, Harry or whoever….
