Recently, media outlet Total Music Awards published an article titled “Early 2026 Grammy Predictions: Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, and the List of Contenders”. The article covers the predictions for the next Grammar winners – such as Lady Gaga, Kendrick Lamar, and Bad Bunny, while BLACKPINK’s Rosé name appeared with high anticipation.
In particular, Rosé was mentioned along with Bruno Mars in the “Leading Contenders” segment, as their collaboration, “APT.” will be eligible to compete in the 2026 Grammys. According to Total Music Awards, “APT.” should earn a Best Pop Duo/Group nomination.
Additionally, the song also deserves a nomination for the most prestigious Record of the Year, said Total Music Awards, but considering that voting for the 2026 Grammy will commence 16 months after the release of “APT.”, it may be at a disadvantage.
All in all, this means Rosé could become the first K-Pop artist ever to win a Grammy, especially with the phenomenal success of “APT.” on a global scale.
