Best Alternative Music Album

Another difficult category with several big names including the late David Bowie. In addition, Bon Iver and Radiohead have also been much buzzed-about as well. So who could upset this one?

The Nominees

22, A Million — Bon Iver
Blackstar — David Bowie
The Hope Six Demolition Project — PJ Harvey
Post Pop Depression — Iggy Pop
A Moon Shaped Pool — Radiohead

Who Could Upset?

We’re pretty sure David Bowie will posthumously win for Blackstar this year. But if anyone could beat him, we’re guessing it’s Radiohead’s A Moon Shaped Pool. The album got rave reviews and concert tickets were as difficult to get as Adele or Beyoncé. People love Radiohead.

Best Rap Album

Between Kanye, Drake, and Chance The Rapper, this category is pretty insane. So which one of them could pull an upset?

The Nominees
Coloring Book — Chance The Rapper
And the Anonymous Nobody — De La Soul
Major Key — DJ Khaled
Views — Drake
Blank Face LP — ScHoolboy Q
The Life of Pablo — Kanye West

Who Could Upset?

Since Drake’s Views is nominated for Album of the Year, we’re guessing he’ll win this category. But Chance The Rapper is up for Best New Artist, which means the Academy knows he’s awesome. Maybe he’ll upset and take home Best Rap Album since he…ya know, actually had the best one.

Best Urban Contemporary Album

It’s between Beyoncé and Rihanna but which one will come out on top? Could this be category be a major upset?

The Nominees

Beyoncé, Lemonade
Gallant, Ology
King, We Are King
Anderson .Paak, Malibu
Rihanna, Anti

Who Could Upset?

We’re guessing Lemonade will win because it was also nominated for Album of the Year. and because…Beyoncé. But, if anyone could upset Beyoncé, it’d be Rihanna with her amazing album Anti. Hey, it could happen.
