OK, so have you done a wick check? Because this is the type of thing that requires TRS.

Not an ATT query. Please use Trope Talk if you want to discuss the definition, and TRS if you want to officially amend it or rename.

I think we're getting a lot of scope drift here. Quickly going through the examples, I see the following major categories:
TLDR; "Won an award" does not mean "award bait." "Main song in a musical" does not mean "award bait."
In my opinion we need a cleanup and split into two pages: "A pop cover of a song within the movie" and "singles written specifically to abuse a formula and win an award, usually for nonmusicals."
Award-Bait Song would probably be the latter, with "Romantic Ballad Cover" or similar for the former.
