Olivia Rodrigo’s “Sour” has quickly become one of the defining albums of the 2020s. The acclaimed break-up record introduced the world to a young singer-songwriter poised to be a force in popular music for the remainder of the decade, at the very least. And it was not only acclaimed, it also became the second biggest album of 2021 in the United States and produced four top-10 hits. As such, when Grammy nominations came around, it was to the surprise of no one that Rodrigo got seven, pretty much maxing out her possible nominations, and becoming just the 13th artist to earn bids in every general field category in one year. Everyone with common sense is likely predicting a win for Rodrigo for Best New Artist; as of this writing she’s leading the Gold Derby odds in that category by a very, very considerable margin. But how likely is it...
