With the 2022 GRAMMY Awards mere days away, the excitement continues to build for the event.

Every field is jam-packed with the who’s who in the music industry. Take for example the Record Of The Year category. ABBA, Jon Batiste, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga, Doja Cat and SZA, Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber, Brandi Carlile, Olivia Rodrigo, Silk Sonic, and Lil Nas X are all nominated.

But who will win and who should win?

Join us below to find out…

Who will win: Olivia Rodrigo – ‘Drivers License’

When it comes to this year’s category, there could be a lot of history that potentially could be made. Case in point, both Billie Eilish and Bruno Mars are both in contention to become just the second artist to win in this category three times – the first being Paul Simon. Tony Bennett could become the oldest winner ever at 95-years-old. However, all the signs are pointing toward Rodrigo sweeping many of the main categories this year, proving she truly is in the driver’s seat.

Who should win: ABBA – ‘I Still Have Faith In You’

Serving as legendary group ABBA’s first and only GRAMMY nomination to date, it is only right that they should be given their flowers. After taking a 40 year break and leaving a lasting impact on music, they came back with their stellar ‘Voyage’ album. However, beyond their legacy, this song is just outright great. It’s triumphant and serves as a victory lap for a group that will forever live as one of the greatest in music history.

Dark Horse: Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga – ‘I Get a Kick Out of You’

2022 could be the year that music legends come back to claim their thrones. Case in point, a real contender for this category is Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga. Both artists are beloved by the Recording Academy with the two of them totaling 31 awards. Pair that with the fact that the GRAMMY’s love a throwback sound, and that this is Bennett’s last album and you have the makings of a true dark horse contender.
