EDM Returns To The Spotlight

Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Post Malone, Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, and all of your favorite artists make their appearance for this 2021 Grammy’s edition. EDM, however, appears where you would last think of it. One of the most awaited albums this year was Lady Gaga’s Chromatica. The album credits Tchami, Skrillex, Burns, Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso, Madeon, and more as producers. This of course makes a powerful statement. Good producers make a good album. The singer/lead artist, of course, is very important. Producers, however, bring the idea to life. Give it a body, and allows it to exist. With Chromatica being nominated for ‘Vocal Pop Album Of The Year’ EDM will try to point out its relevance in today’s scenario at the latest edition of the Grammy Awards.

Dance Music Grammy Nominees

EDM of course, as a category of its own, has its own two categories where some of the best pieces of this year will compete. For the Grammy’s category of ‘Best Dance Recording’ the nominees are:

Diplo & SIDEPIECE – On My Mind
Disclosure Featuring Aminé & Slowthai – My High
Flume Featuring Toro y Moi – The Difference\ Jayda G – Both of Us
Kaytranada Featuring Kali Uchis – 10%

Kaytranada has also been nominated in the ‘Best New Artist’ category. My personal pick would be ‘On My Mind’ By Diplo and SIDEPIECE, since this is, after all, the year of house.

Finally, on the category of Best Dance/Electronic Album

Arca – Kick I
Baauer – Planet’s Mad
Disclosure – Energy
Kaytranada – Bubba
Madeon – Good Faith

First of all, huge congrats to Madeon. Good Faith was one of the best albums of the year and totally deserves this nomination. However, due to its blend between pop and underground British rhythms, I predict this one will definitely go to Disclosure for their album Energy.

The American singer from New York earned this award with every LP she released. Beyond Lady Gaga, only Selena Gomez has had a no. 1 album in 2020 so far. Also, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, the debut of Chromatica marked the biggest week for any album released by a woman this year.

Chromatica’s Debut Hits Outstanding Numbers

Chromatica’s release led to one of the biggest streaming weeks for any non-R&B/hip-hop or Latin album in 2020. Yielding a total of 274,000 equivalent units, Gaga ranked as the fifth-largest week for any album in 2020. In addition, the album registered more than 87.16 million on-demand streams. This is the highest weekly number in 2020 for any project not designated as R&B/hip-hop or Latin.

Lady Gaga is not the first woman to achieve the Six No. 1 Albums club, but this selective group only has 8 members. Although she’s not the only woman in these ranks, she was the fastest to achieve it. The artist only needed just over 9 years to get there.

Other artists in this group include world-class singers singers like Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, and Taylor Swift. There are only three women who rank above Gaga: Barbara Streisand with 11, Madonna with 9, and Janet Jackson with 7 lead the chart-toppers division.

The massive reach of ‘Chromatica’ truly proves the album’s success – wonderful results for an album with some of the best producers of the industry, and obviously one of the best singers.

Take a listen to the album below!
