Eleven years of Wikipedia data show Best New Artist nominees get a far bigger rise in page views around a Grammy nod than the stars they’re up against. Here’s what to watch for when the 2027 nominations land on November 16.

By Will, founder of MIDDERMUSIC

Key findings

Best New Artist nominees saw a median 2.1x rise in English Wikipedia page views on announcement day and the day after Grammy nominations, across the 2016 to 2026 Grammys.
Other Big Four nominees (Record and Album of the Year) saw a median 1.3x rise on announcement day and the following day.
Best New Artist nominees had the bigger median rise at every one of the 11 ceremonies, from 1.6x at the 2016 Grammys to 8.6x at the 2021 Grammys.
55% of Best New Artist nominees at least doubled their daily Wikipedia page views on announcement day and the day after, against 25% of other Big Four nominees.

For journalists

MIDDERMUSIC analyzed daily English Wikipedia page views for every Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Best New Artist nominee at the 2016 to 2026 Grammys. Comparing average daily page views on nomination announcement day and the day after with each page’s median from 35 to 8 days before, Best New Artist nominees saw a median 2.1x rise, against 1.3x for other Big Four nominees.

55% of Best New Artist nominees at least doubled their usual daily page views, against 25% of other Big Four nominees, and the Best New Artist median was higher at all 11 ceremonies. The analysis covers 174 nominee-years after excluding 22 with pre-announcement spikes or too little baseline traffic. It measures attention, not streams, sales or award outcomes.

Grammy nominations coincide with something measurable: people go and look the nominees up.

We analyzed daily English Wikipedia page views for every Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Best New Artist nominee across the last 11 ceremonies, the 2016 to 2026 Grammys. For each one, we compared average daily page views on the day nominations were announced and the day after with a typical day in the month before.

The pattern is consistent. Best New Artist nominees saw a median 2.1x rise in page views. Other Big Four nominees saw 1.3x. It isn’t one freak year either: Best New Artist nominees had the bigger median rise at every one of the 11 ceremonies, from 1.6x at the 2016 Grammys to 8.6x at the 2021 Grammys (nominated November 2020). For the most recent ceremony, the 2026 Grammys (nominated November 2025), it was 1.7x.

More than half of new artists at least double their page views

55% of Best New Artist nominees saw their daily Wikipedia page views at least double on announcement day and the day after. Among other Big Four nominees it was 25%.

One likely explanation is that a nomination is news when people don’t know who you are yet. Established stars start from a much bigger audience, so the same wave of attention moves their numbers less.

The biggest rises

The largest rise in our data went to Arooj Aftab, a Best New Artist nominee at the 2022 Grammys (nominated November 2021). In the month before, her Wikipedia page had a median of about 120 daily page views. On announcement day and the day after it averaged more than 4,200 a day, a 35x rise.

Best New Artist nominees at the 2021 Grammys (nominated November 2020) saw similar leaps: D Smoke’s page views rose 15x and Kaytranada’s 11x.

In raw numbers, the biggest rise went to Jon Batiste, who led the 2022 Grammy nominations with 11 in November 2021. His page went from about 1,700 daily page views to almost 30,000 a day on announcement day and the day after.

What to watch on November 16

Nominations for the 2027 Grammys are announced on Monday, November 16, 2026. Going by 11 ceremonies of data, the biggest rises in page views aren’t usually among the superstars. They come for the Best New Artist nominees whose names many people are hearing for the first time. We plan to add the 2027 nominees here on November 18, 2026, once two full days of page view data after the announcement are available.

Method

Data: daily page views for each nominee’s English Wikipedia article from the Wikimedia Analytics API (CC0). We use Wikimedia’s “user” agent type, which filters out traffic Wikimedia identifies as automated. That filtering isn’t perfect.
Nominees: Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Best New Artist at the 2016 to 2026 Grammys (11 ceremonies). We include every credited lead artist on a nominated record or album, but not featured artists. An artist nominated in more than one of these categories at the same ceremony counts once, and an artist up for Best New Artist counts in that group. Song of the Year is excluded because it credits songwriters rather than performers. Nominee lists come from Wikipedia and match grammy.com’s counts for every category and year.
Measure: average daily views on the announcement day and the day after, divided by the median daily views from 35 to 8 days before the announcement.
Page renames: if an artist’s Wikipedia article has been renamed, we include views under its earlier titles, so older years aren’t undercounted.
Exclusions: 196 nominee-years in total. We excluded 22: two pages with a median below 100 daily views in the baseline period, too small to compare fairly, and 20 pages where a day in the week before nominations ran above three times the baseline median. That usually means something else, such as an awards show or a TV appearance, was already driving interest. 174 nominee-years remain.
Robustness: The finding holds with the excluded pre-announcement-spike cases included and with the 2021 ceremony removed. Best New Artist nominees had the higher median in every year from 2016 to 2026 in all four variants of that check.
Limits: Wikipedia page views measure attention, not listening, streams or sales. They count page requests, not unique people. English Wikipedia leans toward English-speaking readers. Daily counts follow UTC days, so announcement day can include some hours before the announcement. A rise on announcement day and the day after coincides with the announcement, but it doesn’t show the nomination was the only reason. Some single-ceremony groups are small, as few as three Best New Artist nominees, so individual years are noisier than the 11-year figures.
