From a chart and buzz perspective, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter are enjoying massive years. They have both emerged as legitimate music industry forces.
The quality and success of their music was unsurprisingly recognized by the Recording Academy, as the artists each scored a nomination in all “Big Four” categories.
Both earned nods for Best New Artist; Chappell also landed Album of the Year recognition for “The Rise And Fall of a Midwest Princess” and Song and Record of the Year nominations for “Good Luck, Babe!”
Carpenter scored an Album nomination for “Short n’ Sweet,” a Song look for “Please Please Please,” and a Record nomination for “Espresso.”
Both will be competing with some heavy hitters in the major categories; Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Billie Eilish all earned nods for Album, Record, and Song. Charli XCX, another artist enjoying a career breakout in 2024, will be contending in Album and Record. Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga received attention in the Record and Song categories for their smash “Die With A Smile.”
