Nominats als American Music Awards 2017

Ahir es van anunciar les nominacions als American Music Awards d'aquest any, les quals encapçala Bruno Mars, optant a 8 premis. Les nominacions han estat criticades per la falta de presència femenina, però recordo que aquests premis escullen les seves nominacions basant-se obertament en el desenvolupament comercial en les llistes dels Estats Units.

Per exemple, les nominades a "millor artista femenina pop" són Alessia Cara, Rihanna i Lady Gaga; ja que els únics top 5s de cançons pop d'artistes femenines en solitari al Hot 100 de Billboard són Scars To Your Beautiful, Love On The Brain (Encara que és discutible si aquest senzill d'ANTI és una cançó pop) i Million Reasons.
