Dan and Shay are taking home three awards this year including collaboration of the year, favorite duo or group- Country, and favorite song country with '10,000 Hours'. The duo also performed their hit single ‘I should probably go to bed’ which was birthed in quarantine as Dan Smyers produced the song by playing every instrument from home this year in July.
This should add to their prize haul for the year which includes a GRAMMY for “Best Country Duo/Group Performance,” an ACM Award for “Duo of the Year”, a CMT Country Music Award for “Duo Video of the Year,” and the 2020 CMA “Vocal Duo of the Year” award.
But their collaboration win is not getting away without raising some eyebrows as a lot of viewers believe that there were much better contenders for the award. A user wrote, “Dan + shay and j*stin winning over rain on me and wap really shows that they’re giving awards to attendees or whichever manager can buy them.. i fear for taylors categories” while another said, “Now how did Justin beiber n Dan and Shay beat WAP and Savage remix”, Another fan said, “Why didn't i hear Dan&Shay say "thank you Jungkook this is for you" referring to the BTS member’s cover of the song which contributed to its popularity to a great extent. A fan mused, “It's been 10,000 hours since 10,000 hours by dan+shay and justin bieber was released”

Another fan raged at the misplacement of categories, “Words cannot describe how disappointed that dan and shay, once again, who produce pop ballads, won in a country category. i don’t know what they did to establish themselves in the country industry but it is honestly not where they should be, or what they should be recognized for.”
While others believe that this recognition was long overdue. Dan + Shay finally won the award they deserved
