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”.

Just after its release, After Hours topped the Billboard charts and remained in the number one spot for four consecutive weeks. Also, it was the number one album in sixteen different countries, such as the United Kingdom and Canada. As a result of those huge accomplishments, online sportsbook sites in the US place After Hours as the favorite for the Grammy Awards. 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.

Album of the Year Grammy Odds: Dua Lipa – Future Nostalgia

Dua Lipa released her second studio album, Future Nostalgia, on March 27, 2020. Similar to her first album, Future Nostalgia was well received by the fans and critics. The British singer described her album as “decorated, nostalgic, and feeling like a dancercise class”. Receiving such positive reviews, the album topped the charts in nine countries including Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

Not only did the album top the charts in the UK, it remained there for four consecutive weeks which is a first in Lipa’s history. On the “AnyDecentMusic?” website, the album had very good reviews and received a score of 8.6. Also, the album received even a higher score on Metacritic with 88/100. With such an amount of success, the album is certainly one of the candidates for the album of the year Grammy.
