Posted October 16, 200717 yr Weekly five ... Grammys 2009\ The deadline to have an album released for Grammy consideration passed Sept. 30. We've started some initial predictions here, and we'll revisit them after the nominations are announced to see how far we were off or on. One thing to note: Unlike the film industry, where prestige films will open in one or two cities to guarantee their eligibility, the music business isn't always in the habit of rushing releases out in August or September to secure a Grammy nod. Having holiday sales through November and December are often more important to labels than securing a Grammy nod. There are exceptions, of course, and this year Springsteen's "Magic" was issued on vinyl a week early to secure eligibility. But plenty of high-profile albums -- and albums that would surely benefit from the publicity boost of a Grammy nod -- were released after Sept. 30. Here are five albums that will have to wait until 2009 to win a Grammy. ... 5. Celine Dion, "Taking Chances." The return of the diva-turned-Vegas star and former winner for album of the year winner has plenty of pop smarts behind it. Dion (pictured) worked with R&B star Ne-Yo and Linda Perry (Pink), as well as Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody, who has written for Avril Lavigne. It's getting a prime holiday release, and we expect it to be a blockbuster, but Dion will have to wait another year to take home Grammy's top honor. "Taking Chances" comes out Nov. 13.
