Billboard Unveils Predictions For 2024 Grammys "Best New Artist" Nominees

Today (July 14), Billboard unveiled their list of predicted nominees for the 2024 Grammy Awards. They gave readers a look at what might go down at this year's awards show, noting that the Recording Academy lowered the number of allotted nominees in the Big Four from 10 down to eight. Billboard shared their thoughts on who may take home awards for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist. The list of nominees for the 2024 Grammy Awards will be announced on November 10 of this year.

Billboard predicts that Coco Jones, Jelly Roll, or Peso Pluma could be nominated for Best New Artist. Bailey Zimmerman, Noah Kahan, and Gracie Abrams were also included in their predications for the category. Billboard claims that Ice Spice, as well as her "Boys a Liar, Pt. 2" collaborator PinkPantheress, may additionally end up in the running.

Billboard Thinks Nominees Could Include Ice Spice, Coco Jones, And More

Ice Spice would certainly make sense for the "Best New Artist" category, considering the fact that she's set up camp in the charts in recent months. Still at an early point in her career, the rapper has already taken on high-profile collaborations. She's dropped songs with Taylor Swift and the widely-accepted queen of rap herself, Nicki Minaj. She worked with Nicki not once but twice, most recently dropping their song for the Barbie movie soundtrack, "Barbie World." She dropped a teaser of an upcoming track called “Deli” earlier this week, and fans can't wait to hear more from the New York rapper.

Coco Jones would also be a shoe-in, just recently taking home a BET Award for Best New Artist at last month's awards show. She was nominated for the category alongside Lola Brooke, Ice Spice, GloRilla, Flo, Doechii, and Ambré. Jones was also nominated for Best Actress and Best Female R&B/Pop Artist. The singer also just recently dropped a remix of her hit song "ICU," which features Justin Timberlake.
