Album of the Year Grammy Odds: The Weeknd – After Hours

Released on March 20, 2020, The Weeknd’s Album, After Hours, was a global success. The album collected positive reviews from most of the critics. Some even considered it to be the best work The Weeknd has ever produced. This album has a unique and different vibe from all other albums released by the Canadian singer. The RollingStone describes it as “an epic post-breakup autopsy plus a sense of genuinely felt romantic desolation”.

For instance, on 22Bet, the album of the year Grammy odds for the album to win are 2. Although The Weeknd has previously won two Grammys in the Best Contemporary Album, so this will be his best chance, so far, to win the album of the year.
