The Academy of Recording Arts may have seen these coming, but we certainly didn't. For this list, we’re defining a Grammy upset as one in which an artist was expected to win a specific award in a given year but surprisingly lost to another artist. We’re excluding lifetime snubs where a given artist was overlooked for a specific category or altogether for their entire careers. Look for those in our Top 10 Grammy Snubs video. Join WatchMojo.com as we count down our picks for the top 10 Grammy Upsets.
