Kendrick Lamar’s GNX Leads The Market
With the countdown now on for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, betting odds are here in on the biggest category of all, Album of the Year.
After narrowly missing the eligibility cutoff for last year’s ceremony, Kendrick Lamar’s highly acclaimed album GNX is the early frontrunner.
Betting sites have installed Lamar as the even-money favourite (1/1), with Lady Gaga’s Mayhem and Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend following closely behind.
Taylor Swift just misses the cutoff for the 2026 show with her album not releasing until October, meaning her original favouritism has now gone.

After missing out on last year’s ceremony due to timing, the anticipation for Grammy recognition is sky-high.
