Jelly Roll, Peso Pluma and Lainey Wilson are in. Zach Bryan and boygenius are out.
While the aforementioned artists appear to be front-runners to fill the eight available slots, or at least among the front-runners, Grammy voters have a way of surprising us. Last year, not that many thought that Samara Joy would be nominated. She was not only nominated – she won. And this year’s eligibility list contains the names of 397 other artists, many highly credible, who are also hoping to make the final list.
Other best new artist contenders who aren’t exactly new include Ava Max, whose hits, dating back nearly five years, include “Sweet but Psycho” and “Kings and Queens”; Cody Johnson, who was nominated for a CMA award for new artist of the year in both 2019 and 2022; and Coi Leray, who was nominated for a BET Award for best new artist in 2021.
Peso Pluma is vying to become the third Latin artist in the past five years to receive a best new artist nomination. He would follow Rosalía and Anitta. Pluma wasn’t eligible for best new artist at the Latinand was passed over for nominations in the categories in which he was eligible. A nomination here would be a make-good for an artist who was widely seen as snubbed.
The number of best new artist nominees at the Grammys jumped from five to eight in 2018, and from eight to 10 in 2021. This year it will drop back down to a more reasonable eight.
