In a Tuesday announcement, the Recording Academy revealed the ten projects that will contend for Album of the Year at the 64th Grammy Awards ceremony.<\/p>\n
Wednesday, Sportsbetting.ag launched betting on the Album of the Year race.<\/p>\n
Per the odds, no album presently ranks as an obvious<\/i> favorite to win at this point. Oddsmakers have, however, pinpointed a few likely frontrunners.<\/p>\n
With odds of +150, Olivia Rodrigo’s “SOUR” presently ranks as the betting favorite. Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” follows at +200, while Taylor Swift’s “evermore” is available at +300.<\/p>\n
Doja Cat’s “Planet Her” (+700) and Lil Nas X’s “MONTERO” (+900) round out the Top 5.<\/p>\n
H.E.R.’s “Back Of My Mind” (+2000), Justin Bieber’s “Justice” (+2000), Kanye West’s “Donda” (+2500), Jon Batiste’s “We Are” (+3300), and Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga’s “Love For Sale” (+3300) presently rank as much longer shots.<\/p>\n
The odds may change — perhaps greatly — before the ceremony on January 31, 2022. It is also worth noting that oddsmakers by no means have a perfect track record when it comes to forecasting the actual Grammy outcome (though they have correctly identified the past few Album of the Year winners).<\/p>\n
For those unfamiliar with odds notation, +150 means that someone would win $150 on a $100 bet. Naturally, that means that larger numbers indicate a lower probability of victory but also a higher potential payout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“SOUR,” “Happier Than Ever,” and “evermore” are leading the way.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":153299,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[9683,14322,15029,13246,14718,145],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
