As far as album… neverland. Will win and rightfully so cause it is the beat album on the list however I don’t beloved it’s fair for that or 100 to be on the list cause they were released this year and the others were released last year…if those two were not on there then royal flush should b the true winner
The Dove nomination period is not based on the calendar year. I believe it’s something like June-May or something like that, if that makes sense.
That does make the nominations make sense if it was from may of the previous year to June of the current year …this also explains why lecrae won hip hop album of the year for an album released in 2012 Lol…thank you for the clarity… it’s just makes these awards look so late when lecrae can win a Grammy just 5 months after the album drops… but can you riddle me this…what was going on in the heads of the stellar awards when they let lecrae win album of the year in 2014 for gravity released in 2012…how do they calculate…from Jan 2012 to Dec 2013? Lol just asking
Yeah, possibly. Not sure on that.
im sure that Andy Mineo will win song and album but i want Dear Mr Christian to win cause seriously that songs in my top 5 of all time songs and Lecrae will obviously win with Erica Campbell. And can someone tell me when it will air on tv and what channel
Not sure on the details for the televised broadcast yet.
