Kalau dilihat dari segi popularitas di Youtube, lagu Call Me Maybe dari Carly Rae Jepsen jauh melebihi Fun bahkan Call Me Maybe masuk Top 10 lagu terlaris di Youtube. Tapi di ajang Grammy ini popularitas musisi dan larisnya album tidak menjadi patokan utama bisa meraih Grammy. contohnya penyanyi setenar dan selaris Justin Bieber gagal masuk nominasi.
Fun yang dinominasikan untuk 6 kategori ternyata hanya mampu meraih 2 piala yaitu Best New Artist dan Song Of The Year sementara itu The Black Keys mendominasi ajang penghargaan Grammy tahun ini dengan merebut 4 penghargan diantaranya Best Rock Performance, Best Rock Album dan Best Rock Song. Pendatang baru lainnya, Gotye meraih 3 grammy. Nominasi Grammy 2013 bisa lihat disini
