Kanye West performs at 2011 Lollapalooza in Chile. Kanye is nominated for eight 2017 Grammy awards.

We all know the Grammys pit top artists head-to-head. 2017 is no different with nine Beyoncé, eight Kanye West, and five Adele nominations. Let's break down some of the most popular Grammy categories and predict who will come out on top on Sunday at 8 p.m.

Album of the Year:

Who Should Win: “Views” by Drake

Who Will Win: “Lemonade” by Beyoncé

2016 was filled with great albums. This category is hotly contested with Adele, Beyoncé, Drake, Justin Bieber, and Sturgill Simpson all nominated for the award. While “Views” was a new look for Drake and showed his prowess in hip-hop and newfound dancehall vibes, it is unlikely that “Views” will win over Beyoncé’s wildly popular visual album “Lemonade.”

Record of the Year:

Who Should Win: “Hello” by Adele

Who Will Win: “Hello” by Adele

Lukas Graham, Beyoncé, and Rihanna are frontrunners in this category for sure, but the award is likely to go home with Adele for her chilling record “Hello,” which spent ten weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 list. We’ve heard it on the radio too many times, but not enough to want it to lose out at the Grammys.

Best New Artist:

Who Should Win: Chance the Rapper

Who Will Win: The Chainsmokers

With only two viable options on the list, we’re torn. Like Kanye did in the mid-2000s, Chance the Rapper is bringing us a new age of hip-hop. The Chainsmokers don’t necessarily deserve the win, but in light of their unbelievable success and far-reaching audience, this EDM duo will probably steal the award of the night.

Best Rap Album:

Who Should Win: “The Life of Pablo” by Kanye West

Who Will Win: “Views” by Drake

Kanye’s album, “The Life of Pablo,” is one of the most cohesive and thoughtful works of his career, while songs off Drake’s “Views” spent weeks on the charts. But if past Grammys are any indication, the winner of this year’s popularity contest is going to be Drake.

But what do you think? Are the Grammys’ awarding systems outdated, as Frank Ocean would say? Will Kanye West provide us another entertaining outburst? And what do Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Metallica have in store for the night’s performances? Of course, there’s no way to know for sure who will take home five Grammys and who will get snubbed unless you tune in on Feb. 12 to find out.
