|
Toby Knapp, WASH: “Anti-Hero”, Taylor Swift,, New Artist: Jellyroll. Bob Patrick, WXLK: “Flowers”, Taylor Swift, New Artist: Raye.
Matt Johnson, WPLW: “Flowers”, Taylor Swift, New Artist: TBD.
Buster Satterfield, WIOQ: “Flowers”, Taylor Swift, New Artist: Ice Spice. JB King, KLUC: “Flowers”, Taylor Swift, New Artist: Coi Leray. Valentine, WBHT: “Flowers” for song, have to Taylor Swift for artist, and Lil Durk for new. Jagger, KCHZ: “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus, SZA. For New Artist I’m going with Jelly Roll, for me he’s a new artist Pop-wise at least. |
Adam Rivers, WKCI / WKSS: “Anti-Hero”, Taylor Swift, New Artist: Coi Leray
Drew Heyman, WHYI: “Flowers”, Miley Cyrus, New Artist: Dominic Fike. Bartel. WKTU: “Flowers”, Taylor Swift tie with Miley Cyrus, New Artist: Jelly Roll.
Jeff Hurley, iHeartMedia: “Fast Car,” Taylor Swift, and Fifty Fifty. Guy Zapoleon, Zapoleon Consulting: “Flowers” for song, artist has to be the world dominant Taylor Swift, and Best New Artist so far is Latto. |
Mike O’Donnell, WKRZ: Taylor Swift for sure as artist, along with “Anti Hero” for song. I think Jelly Roll has a real shot for best new, it’s going to a huge record for us in this market.
Jana Sutter, WXXL: Taylor Swift for artist, “Flowers” is having a monster year. It’s hard to pick a Best New Artist this year because many new artists seem pretty disposable, they’re not sticking. |
Beata Murphy, KIIS: Taylor Swift and anything that Taylor Swift puts out. And new artist Doechii – Love her!
Jon Zellner, iHeartMedia: “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Fifty Fifty.
Erik Bradley, B96: “Last Night” & “Flowers” (hard to choose one over the other). Artist: 1a: Taylor Swift 1aa: Morgan Wallen, New Artist: 1a: Ice Spice 1b: Jelly Roll.
Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: Definitely Taylor Swift for artist, with the Eras tour and the #1 songs it’s been her year with nobody else particularly close. “Flowers” right now is song of the year, but I think by year’s end both “Cruel Summer” and “Vampire” will each have a chance. I think by the end of the year Jelly Roll will be best new artist, right now, I don’t know that we’ve done a great job in breaking new artists this year. David Kushner eventually may have a chance.
