Grammy speculation: https://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/grammys/grammy-chew-roty-and-soty-2026-08-10 As we’ve mentioned, ROTY and SOTY may be two different categories—one for performers/producers and one for songwriters—but many of the year’s key hits could be contenders in either or both. Rather than give you two largely similar lists, we’ve compiled the titles we consider the most eligible and indicated, where appropriate, if they seem to skew toward one category or another. Other Contenders Madonna, “Danceteria” (Warner): Madge’s irresistible dance-club reverie—from her acclaimed #1 set CONFESSIONS II—is an electric paean to the creative ferment of the ’80s, when she strode to fame. It’s fun, but it’s also deep. A nom would hail both this return to form and her fab career.

They'll be counted by Luminate on Friday.

Spoilers from someone at Pulse who has the album:

THAT’S SOME MATERIAL, GIRL: The new Madonna album, due July 3, is definitely pinging the radar. Confessions II, the sequel to her fan-beloved 2005 release, Confessions on a Dance Floor, and the first big Warner release in a minute, has some handicappers predicting a substantial chart debut. Madge—who more or less created the modern pop diva—has been cannily cultivating anticipation for the set, and her heavy visibility during Pride month has been essential. Unlike a lot of artists who’ve been making records for 43 years, she remains relevant (indeed, for much of the LGBTQ+ community, she’s “Mother”). Her last tour did terrific business; could the next one be even bigger? https://www.hitsdailydouble.com/news/near-truths/near-truths-the-longest-tail-2026-06-17

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not bald.

Weak chorus. At one point, it sounds like Bring Your Love. Bad lyrics and vocals. Grade: C
