2025 Tyler's Choice Music Awards ~ Longlists

These are NOT the official nominations. Those are coming later. These are who I am considering for the official nominations at a later date.

These may not be one-to-one with the official Grammy submissions, but they are my awards so I make the rules when it comes to eligibility.

This list is not finalized. Changes might be made because I am fickle.
