Grammy Awards Betting Odds 2017: Beyoncé, Adele Among Nominees Favored To Win At 59th Annual Show

The biggest names in music will be celebrated at the 59th annual Grammy Awards Sunday night at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Some of the most decorated artists in history are expected to gain even more accolades at the upcoming event.

Beyoncé has received more nominations than any female artist in Grammy history, and she leads the way in 2017 with nine more. Having already won 20 Grammys in her career, she’s favored to win the night’s biggest award.

Beyoncé has 1/2 betting odds to win album of the year for “Lemonade,” which was released on April 23. The visual album was first released on HBO and sold the equivalent of 653,000 album units in its first week. It became Beyoncé’s sixth solo studio album to surpass one million sales.

Sturgill Simpson, Drake and Justin Bieber are also up for the award, though they are longshots to challenge the former Destiny’s Child member. Another female artist, however, has a realistic chance of preventing Beyoncé from winning the award.

Adele’s “25” is a 2/1 underdog to win album of the year. “25” sold 3.38 million copies in its first week, setting a record for sales since Nielsen Music began tracking purchases in 1991. If Adele doesn’t defeat Beyoncé for album of the year, she could do so in a few other categories.

“Hello,” Adele’s biggest hit off “25,” is the favorite to win record of the year. The song set a record with 1.1 million downloads in its first week, doing so at the end of October.

Beyoncé’s “Formation” has 5/1 odds to win record of the year. Both “Hello” and “Formation” have the exact same odds for song of the year.

Lukas Graham is a longshot to win both record of the year and song of the year with “7 Years.” Rihanna and Drake’s “Work” and Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself” have the best chance of upsetting Adele’s and Beyoncé’s hit songs.

Drake, Rihanna and Kanye West are all tied with eight nominations. Chance the Rapper, who is favored to win best new artist, has been nominated seven times this year. Adele has five nominations.
