I think it's more to do with the Grammys committee never being a fan of the Weeknd rather than cos of him performing at the super bowl

 

he got plenty of nominations for Madness but didn't win big and just won a couple little categories

and then with Starboy, I think he only got 1 nomination and it was something minor,

so it was similar to this year

 

with the Grammys it's about lobbying and campaigning so I Guess his label didn't send big checks

 

 

What a slap in the face for him. I hope some noise is made about this beyond the Twittersphere. Omitting what is widely considered as one of the standout songs and albums of 2020 does no one any favours besides the artists nominated instead of him. Completely unacceptable. And if we're to look at it through a racial lens, it looks like the academy have learned nothing. White artists such as JP Saxe, Julia Michaels and Justin Bieber can churn out the most insipid dirge and can be celebrated for it while a black artist actually brings something inspiring to the table and helped change the landscape of pop with the 80s synths yet doesn't even get recognised. What the f.

The Grammys have always been horrendous. Seems like Bieber submitted his stuff for RnB (which it is if you measure the beats used) and they put it on Pop.

 

The Weeknd throwing shade on Twitter and rightly so. To just flat out ignore is just outright bizarre.

 

His label submissions:

 

‘Changes’ - Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album

‘Intentions’ - Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Pop Duo/Group Performance

‘Stuck With U’ - Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Pop Duo/Group Performance

‘Yummy’ - Pop Solo Performance

 

He probably should have spoken to them before making a post about it...

It sounds like The Weeknd snub is purely due to the performance negotiations and the Super Bowl. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry both performed the same year as their Super Bowl shows, but they performed a cover with Metallica and an album track. He probably wasn’t allowed to perform ‘Blinding Lights’ on both — which is ridiculous.

Blinding lights back #5 on TTH

 

The impact

I didn’t realise Save Your Tears from this album was as high as #30 on UK iTunes.

 

Hope it smashes post Xmas / early 2021.

So apparently there's a remix of 'Save Your Tears' with ROSALÍA coming out.

 

I don't even care if it turns out to be awful, I am fully going to stan heaven at the mere concept.

Actually, it's a remix of "Blinding Lights" and it will be out this Friday. Why this and not "Save Your Tears" which is his current single? :unsure:

Because incredibly there's clearly some milk still left in that cow!

thats beyond crazy!

Still excited but kind of lame in comparison to the tease of it being 'Save Your Tears' if true xx

 

What I don't get about this is the 'Save Your Tears' rumour came from a YouTube Content ID leak which is usually infallible (it called the existence of the BTS remix of 'Savage Love (Laxed - Siren Beat)' for example) - not sure how that is going to turn out to be wrong? Unless it was a faked screenshot from YouTube in the first place but if that's the case it's a pretty big coincidence that there would turn out to also be a real remix with ROSALÍA... :lol:

The remix of "Blinding Lights" with ROSALÍA is available now.

 

Listening now, it's cool, and Risalis sings a lot, even starts the song with some new Spanish lines

but still don't get why they're releasing it now 1 year after the original release

she could have jumped on another album track or done a new single together and that would have had more sense

This just proves that Rosalía can make any (majorly) overplayed song listenable again.

 

QUEEN! *.*

Maybe he wants it to remain in the top 40 this week?

It needs to stay top 25 to stay in the Billboard Hot 100 and I think it was released so it doesn't get kicked out by christmas songs.

Guess we know what the bandages at the AMAs were for now :magic:

 

Would love this to somehow become a hit, it’s too good to flop

:cheeseblock:

 

amazing

why is 'blinding lights' still doing so well?

I slept on 'Save Your Tears' a bit compared to other album tracks when this first came out (#24 in my chart compared to multiple instant top 10s) but it's quietly crept up on me and now I adore it - what a timeless sounding synth record much like 'Blinding Lights' and 'In Your Eyes'. Really hope it can do something!
