Alex Warren

Although the 25-year-old singer and YouTuber did land a nomination for Best New Artist, his song Ordinary, which was a hit amongst fans and listeners, was left off the Grammy list.

The Weeknd

Despite his label submitting multiple entries for his sixth studio album Hurry Up Tomorrow, the 35-year-old Canadian singer’s name was nowhere to be seen among this year’s nominees.

Role Model

This year, Role Model’s, whose real name is Tucker Harrington Pillsbury, career hit new heights due to the deluxe release of his album Kansas Anymore, which included his viral song Sally, When the Wine Runs Out.

Yet, even with the viral success, Role Model didn’t make the cut for the 2026 Grammys.
