Aerosmith will not up for any awards but he will receive the 2020 MusiCares Person of the Year Award.
On the other hand, Sean “Diddy” is expected to grab the 2020 Grammy Salute to Industry Icons for his 25-year hip-hop career.
Difference between Record and Song of the Year
Song of the year refers to the songwriter’s award whereby the artist receives an award if he wrote the song.
On the other hand, the record of the Year goes to the artist and producers, the engineers who performed the recording work, mixing and mastering engineers.
Song of the Year is a songwriters’ award; if the artist did not write the song, it does not go to them.
Who was going to win?
Honestly, we can’t tell until the winners are announced. But as per the past events, we already know that Lizzo and Eilish have made splashes previously.
Also, we know that Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” set a record for spending 17 weeks at the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 charts.
Although the charts don’t necessarily represent the list of winners for Grammy awards 2020, we are apparently not seeing these names the last time.
So sit back, relax and enjoy the show with your friends and fans.
