This is a case where past wins aren’t an indicator of future success. Beyoncé has 20 wins over her career and nine nominations this year for Lemonade, the most of any artist. But while Lemonade was a cultural game changer, Adele’s 25 has sold 8 million copies since its release in late 2015 — a staggering number in today’s age of music streaming — handily besting Lemonade’s 1.5 million copies sold in 2016. br br If Beyoncé wins eight of her nine nominations, she’ll have won more awards in a single night than any artist in history. But there’s a third contender in the mix: Rihanna is nominated in eight categories, and could easily disrupt the Adele–Beyoncé battle. br br Meanwhile, Best New Artist nominee the Chainsmokers are a frontrunner in that category with their single “Closer,” which has earned more than a billion views on YouTube and was also No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 list for 10 straight weeks, longer than any other song of 2016. The popularity of “Closer” may make the Chainsmokers the likely winner over fellow nominee Chance the Rapper, since album sales and chart position are clear indicators of a win.
