As undeniable pop goes, it’s hard to top “The Middle,” the unstoppable 2018 banger that brought together new-country heavyweight Maren Morris, German-Russian DJ Zedd (a.k.a. Anton Zaslavski), and the Edm duo Grey. The unlikely collaboration spent 40 weeks on the pop chart and was used in a Target ad; to date it’s logged over 4 billion streams. “‘The Middle’ was a once-in-a-lifetime song,“ Morris tells Rolling Stone. “It’s definitely one of the biggest songs I’ve been a part of, and it really opened me and my work...

In something of an upset, This is America by Childish Gambino won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year, marking Donald Glover’s third award on the evening. The award goes to Donald Glover & Ludwig Goransson, the songwriters, the win no doubt powered by its accompanying groundbreaking video.
Neither was present to accept the award. Song of the Year is a songwriter’s award. A song (singles or tracks) is eligible if it was first released or if it first achieved prominence during the Eligibility Year.
Glover’s dissonant song of commentary about the socio-ecnmc status of black me was made especially controversial bs jarring art-house video which includes moments of abrupt violence. Glover himself has a federal heritage — he was born in the Reagan years at Edwards Air Force Base in 1983. Glover is a multi-threat talent with comedy and acting pursuits. His screen credits include Solo: A Star Wars Story,...

Last year Bruno Mars was the king of the Grammy Awards winning all six of his races. This year, one of the artists he bested for many of those prizes, Kendrick Lamar, leads with a whopping eight nominations. Many of these bids come for his work on the “Black Panther” soundtrack and the chart-topping single “All the Stars.” Likewise, Lady Gaga earned four nominations for “Shallow,” the love ballad from her film “A Star is Born.” Both of their songs also contend at the Academy Awards.
The four general field categories — Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist — are the top prizes at the Grammys. While the nominees are drawn from across a variety of music genres, the winners of these Grammy Awards tend to be the biggest pop and rock acts like Mars, Adele, Taylor Swift, and Mumford and Sons.

Lady Gaga and her “A Star Is Born” character Ally are both Grammy winners, but the latter has won what her portrayer never has: a general field Grammy. That could all change in February, though, thanks to “Shallow.”
“Shallow,” the only eligible track from “A Star Is Born” this Grammy cycle, received four nominations Friday: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop/Duo Group Performance and Best Song Written for Visual Media. Record and Song are two of the four general field Grammy categories, along with Album of the Year and Best New Artist, aka the Big Four — none of which Gaga has won.
Not counting the five nominations she received Friday, including one for “Joanne (Where Do You Think You’re Goin’?)”, Gaga has six wins from 19 nominations, all in genre categories: Best Dance Recording for “Poker Face”; Best Electronic/Dance Album for “The Fame”; Best...
