Beatles and Mariah Carey are among the winners; Elton John, Led Zeppelin and Justin Bieber were nominated, but did not win the statuette
Annita compete in the category of revelation artist (best new artistin English) into Grammys 2023, which takes place this Sunday, 5, from 22h (Brasilia time). But after all, who won the prize?
There are little-known singers in Brazil today, passing through artists who had hits in the past, such as Cyndi Lauper (1985), Tracy Chapmann (1989) and the groups Works in progress (1983) and Evanescence (2004). Also on this list are artists who are still in the spotlight, such as Mariah Carey (1991) and brown 5 (2005).
Not to mention the 1965 edition, which awarded none other than the Beatles.

Over the past 15 years, several big names: Amy Winehouse, Adele, Sam Smith, Dua Lipa AND Billie Eillish.
It’s also worth noting that not winning the category doesn’t mean the end of the line. The giants of rock like Elton John (1971) and Led Zeppelins (1970) were “defeated” in the face of the success of The carpenters AND Crosby, Stills & Nashrespectively.
In 2011, for example, Justin Bieber lost the dispute with Esperanza Spalding. In 1996 the group Hootie and the puffer fish passed Alanis Morissette. Questions about who got more prominence in the charts in the following years?
Dire Straits (1980), Robin Williams (1980), Irene Cara (1981), Green Day (1995), Puff Daddy (1998), Backstreet Boys (1999), Britney Spears (2000), Linkin Park (2002), Avril Lavigne (2003), 50 Cent (2004), Taylor Swift (2008), Jonas Brothers (2009) and Nicki Minaj (2012) also join the list of nominees who didn’t win the award.
It is worth mentioning that, until 2018, five names were selected each year. Since then, the quantity has increased. In 2023 will be 10 contestants: Anitta, Måneskin, Omar Apollo, Domi & JD Beck, Samara Joy, Latto, Muni Long, Tobe Nwigwe, Molly Tuttle and Wet Leg.
