Best New Artist Grammys 2018:
Ella Henderson
Sam Hunt
Nick Jonas
Rae Sremmurd
Charlie XCX
Winner: Ella Henderson.
Henderson is the favorite right now; she's a soulful, X-Factor–bred British woman, and "Ghost" seems like it will be a hit. Charli is a nominee this year for "Fancy," but, as with Ed Sheeran, the Grammys love to nominate someone for Best New Artist a year after they should. Nick Jonas fills the "How the heck are they new?" spot, and Hunt is the requisite country artist. In all likelihood, we're missing this year's Lorde — a youngster who comes out of nowhere with a dark horse Song of Summer contender — but until that person makes themselves known, we're giving their slot to Rae Sremmurd, who have an approximately 0.00001 percent chance of actually being nominated in real life.
