Will Phoebe Bridgers Join This List of Artists Who Have Landed Grammy Nods for Album of the Year Both Solo and in a Group?
Phoebe Bridgers ’ third solo studio album, Lost Weekend , has gotten rave reviews, as seen by its sky-high 91 rating at Metacritic.com .
It is also off to a fast start on music charts worldwide.
On Friday (Aug.
21), it entered the Official U.K.
Albums chart at No.
1.
Two days later, it was announced that it entered the Billboard 200 at No.
2.
With all this going for it, Lost Weekend is very likely to receive a Grammy nod for album of the year, a feat Bridgers achieved three years ago as a member of the supergroup Boygenius , which was nominated for its first full-length, The Record . (The album wound up losing to Taylor Swift ’s Midnights .
The pop megastar, who is also likely to be an album of the year contender for The Life of a Showgirl, generously touted Bridgers’ new album on her Instagram story .
“It’s her birthday but she gave us a gift,” Swift wrote.
“Haven’t been able to stop listening.
This album is an absolute triumph in every way.”) If Lost Weekend lands an album of the year nod, Bridgers will become just the 12th artist to be nominated in that category both as a lead solo artist and as a part of a named group or duo since the Grammys were first presented in 1959.
The Fine Print for that stat: We’re not counting artists who scored album of the year nods as featured artists on other artists’ albums.
