2021 AMA New Artist Winner Odds Highly Favor New Superstar, Olivia Rodrigo

The 2021 American Music Awards is held this weekend, on the 21st of November at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Some of the biggest stars of the music industry will be present from Justin Bieber to Billie Eilish. Both of them have won the New Artist of the Year award before. Now another young singer, Olivia Rodrigo is the main favorite in the 2021 AMA New Artist winner odds to follow their steps. 

It’s always exciting to see some new talents who can be the next big stars of music. The New Artist of the Year award has been given to such stars as Ariana Grande and Niall Horan. But Justin Bieber and Billie Eilish also won this award at the beginning of their careers. While American singer, rapper, and songwriter Doja Cat was awarded last year. She can win in other categories now like the Favorite Female Pop Artist one. But we have five new nominees in the New Artist of the Year category. Let’s see their chances of winning now. 

Olivia Rodrigo Leads the 2021 AMA New Artist Winner Odds 

The 18-year-old American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo is a huge favorite of online sportsbooks in Australia to win the award. She had a breakthrough this year with her first single, “Driving License”. Which debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It also broke a few records on Spotify after reaching 80 million streams in 7 days.  More hits followed the first success as “Deja Vu” and “Good 4 U” with the latter also debuting as No1. The former High School Musical actress is hugely popular and praised by critics as well. 

Rodrigo received the most nominations at the American Music Awards with seven. But she can have the biggest chance of winning in this category. Just like she did at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards where she also won the Song of the Year and the Push Performance of the Year awards. But of course, Rodrigo is not the only nominee at the AMA, though the victory of the others would be a huge surprise. The 2021 AMA New Artist winner odds mention Australian singer, songwriter The Kid Laroi next with the odds of 6.00. He is also 18 and got his first No1 single this summer with Stay, a collaboration with Justin Bieber. They performed the song at the MTV Video Music Awards where The Kid Laroi was also in the nominees in the Best New Artist category. 

Other Nominees of The Category

We can find another Australian nominee at the AMA, rapper Harry Michael, alias Masked Wolf. His most famous song is “Astronaut in the Ocean”. Which reached six on the Billboard Hot 100 this year in spite of being released in 2019. His latest single, “Say So” peaked at number 20 on New Zealand Hot Singles Chart. While his mixtape, “Astronomical” was released in September. Masked Wolf has the highest listener growth on Spotify in the first half of the year and the odds of 17.00 on online gambling sites in Australia. 

American rapper and singer 24kGoldn became world-famous with his single, “Mood” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 last July. The young artist also released his first album called “El Dorado” this year. But he hasn’t had any other huge hits from it yet. The last nominee in the category is Giveon, an American R&B singer and songwriter, who features on Justin Bieber’s No1 single, “Peaches” along with Daniel Caesar. The 26-year-old singer also worked with Drake last year. When he was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. His compilation album, “When It’s All Said and Done…Take Time” reached fifth place in the US chart. Now Giveon’s odds to win the AMA award is 13.00 on 22Bet.
