If you’re betting, expect more diversity in Grammy Awards winners

Hosted by James Corden, the 60th annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast live on CBS, 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 28, from Madison Square Garden in New York — and if the oddsmakers are correct, there will be a much more diverse group of winners than is typical.

Grammy voters have often been criticized for favoring mainstream pop acts over African American and Latin bands, but this year’s album of the year favorite — at 5 to 4, according to the Irish betting site PaddyPower — is Kendrick Lamar’s “Damn.”

Up next are Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” and Lorde’s “Melodrama,” both at 10 to 3. Rounding out the field: Jay-Z’s “4:44” at 4 to 1, and Childish Gambino’s “Awaken, My Love!” at 6 to 1.
