Mumford & Son's 2012 folk album "Babel" is favored to take home the album of the year honor at this year's Grammys ceremony, at least according to Spotify users. The digital music service has compiled its listeners' streaming data from the last year to predict who will win in each of the major categories at the 55th annual Grammy Awards.
