On Nov. 7, the Recording Academy will announce the nominees for the 2026 Grammy Awards, which means there’s a little less than a month to make predictions and make your best guess about which of music’s biggest stars could be taking the stage in Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Feb. 1. <\/p>\n

As we get down to the wire, predictions on Gold Derby are changing up more often users lock in their votes.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at some of the biggest trends in Grammy Award predictions less than a month out from nominations.<\/p>\n

Things are looking down<\/p>\n

Across the four categories already in Gold Derby’s prediction center for the 2026 Grammy Awards, nearly all of the top contenders are down in their nomination odds, with only a handful of artists trending upward. So what gives?<\/p>\n

\"NEW<\/a> \"Tim<\/a> <\/p>\n

As more artists enter into the conversation, the share of votes for those previously ranked is naturally going to go down. So rather than \u2014 for instance \u2014 Lady Gaga having a bad week in terms of the odds, she’s simply having to share with more contenders. <\/p>\n

But that strong trend downward does have the benefit of making any upward movement even more notable.<\/p>\n

Miley makes moves<\/p>\n

With every artist currently ranked above her heading down, Miley Cyrus<\/a>‘ nine-percent gain in Album of the Year is an outlier worth paying attention to. The three-time winner and 2024 Record of the Year winner for “Flowers” returned this year with her album Something Beautiful, the follow-up to her Album of the Year-nominated Endless Summer Vacation. <\/p>\n

Cyrus is also looking competitive in both Record and Song of the Year with “End of the World,” which is nearing the top 10 in both categories.<\/p>\n

Olivia Dean surges<\/p>\n

“Ordinary” singer Alex Warren may currently be on top of the Best New Artist category thanks to his inescapable single, but there’s another name to keep an eye on as the category firms up.<\/p>\n

Similar to Cyrus’ climb in Album of the Year, English artist Olivia Dean<\/a> is the highest ranked contender who is still trending upward. The “Man I Need” singer recently added nine percentage points to her odds, bringing her closer to nomination range.<\/p>\n
