Why no Taylor Swift in Pop Album? Thought she'd be a guranteed.

Fancy and Shake It Off being nommed for ROTY is a travesty. Sam will walk it now.

Drunk In Love and Dark Horse should've got nominations! The production on those songs is amazing.

So stoked that Chandelier is getting some love. Now just AOTY please.
And weird about Beyonce here. What does the lack of noms in other major categories do for AOTY chances? She was the early frontrunner supposedly. Hozier is in there too! Now just have him and Sia perform and I will actually watch the whole show without fast forwarding it through the rough acts (although with backing tracks is anybody live and rough anymore?).

Sam Smith's album is more accessible and radio friendly so I think that he will win over Beyonce's album.

But that isn't really a reason to why he should win though, is it?. The people who decide who win these awards do not vote like that. If it was, half of who did win best album of the years would never of won.

Rather disappointed Chvrches haven't been nominated given how well they have done in America.

Bey's got album of the year sewn up I think.

There's absolutely no justifiable reason why she shouldn't win.

Interesting set of nominees
Pharell is a bit of a random one though.

I hope Beyonce wins. Not because it's beyonce, but because it's the first album of her career where she pulled it out the bag and it was more of a complete product, not an album full of songs desperate to be hits. It's an album that stands on it's own, not through it's singles. Plus it is well produced.

But then i find Album of the year can be unpredictable at times. You get those years where albums like 21 were so obviously going to win it. But then you get those years where even the obvious predicted winner doesn't win. Grammys could easily go for a rather below the radar album like Beck.
