Will Phoebe Bridgers Join This List of Artists Who Have Landed Grammy Nods for Album of the Year Both Solo and in a Group?
It doesn't take a (boy) genius to realize that she has a good shot.
Phoebe Bridgers' third solo album, Lost Weekend, has been receiving critical acclaim, as evidenced by its impressive 91 rating on Metacritic.com. The album has also been performing well on international music charts, debuting at No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200. With such success, it is likely that Lost Weekend will be nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys, a category Bridgers achieved previously in 2020 with Boygenius' The Record, which lost to Taylor Swift's Midnights.
If successful, Bridgers would join an elite group of artists who have been nominated for Album of the Year both as a lead solo artist and as part of a named group or duo since the Grammys began in 1959. This would make her just the 12th artist to achieve this feat, excluding those who were nominated as featured artists on other artists' albums or those who were nominated in collaborative settings.
Bridgers' nomination would make her the first solo artist to be nominated in this category since Billie Eilish in 2021, and the first artist to achieve this accomplishment both as a solo artist and as part of a named group or duo since Frank Sinatra in the 1950s.
