Teenage breakout Billie Eilish has been the star of our Grammy odds ever since we opened our Album of the Year predictions in the spring. Now she’s the front-runner to win all four general field categories according to the combined predictions of our users. The only artist who has ever done that before in the same year was Christopher Cross in 1981. But since Eilish is such big news, it could be easy to overlook that Lizzo is likely to be nominated in the same four categories. If that happens, it would be the first time in Grammy history that two artists have achieved the nominations grand slam at the same time.
Eilish is on top of our odds for Album of the Year, Record and Song of the Year (“Bad Guy”) and Best New Artist. But hip-hop star Lizzo isn’t far behind. She ranks fourth for Album (“Cuz...
