Of all the top categories at the 2024 Grammys, Record of the Year — which rewards the best finished song, not the underlying songwriting — might be the hardest to predict, with variables everywhere you look. “Anti-Hero” may seem like an obvious pick, but Taylor Swift has never won this category, despite four noms over the years. There’s no shortage of other hits that could claim the title in her place, from Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” to SZA’s “Kill Bill” to Luke Combs’ Tracy Chapman cover. Plenty of other songs have a shot at crashing the party, too. “I could see Ice Spice with PinkPantheress getting Record of the Year for ‘Boy’s a Liar,’” says Alex Tear, the vice president of music programming at SiriusXM. That said, Tear sees this one coming down to toss-up between SZA and Miley Cyrus. “Miley stayed on our playlist for months and months. People just aren’t getting tired of it,” he says.
Rob Kruz, the program director of Hot 99.5 in Washington, D.C. isn’t nearly as torn. “It’s going to be ‘Kill Bill,’“ he says. “Based on what we’ve seen from the Grammy voting, I think that’ll be a very interesting choice. And it’s well-deserved.”
