It’s officially Grammys season! Ahead of the 66th edition of the awards, which will take place in Los Angeles on February 4, the full breakdown of nominations and performers are here.
Presented each year by the Recording Academy of the United States, the Grammys is one of the most prestigious awards ceremonies in music – even managing to scoop a nomination is the sort of huge honour that sticks with an artist for the rest of their career.
The ceremony is also a massive show in itself, with some of the world's biggest acts performing in front of their peers: this year's performers are Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Travis Scott, Luke Combs and Burna Boy.
As for nominees, as usual there are a lot of eyes on the Big Four – the most prestigious and important gongs of the night. This year’s nominations list for Album of the Year list sees Boygenius’ debut The Record and Lana Del Rey’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd going up against artists such as Janelle Monáe, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo, SZA, and Taylor Swift.
Record of the Year – which is awarded to the performer and production team behind a single track – also makes for rich pickings, with Billie Eilish’s Barbie soundtrack cut What Was I Made For? and Victoria Monét’s On My Mama vying for top spot against Rodrigo, Swift, Cyrus, SZA, and Jon Batiste.
Swift's nod for song of the year, with Anti-Hero, makes her the first songwriter in history to earn seven nominations in the category. She now overtakes Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie, who have six nods each.
Rising stars also get a look in, with Best New Artist celebrating newer names who released their breakthrough first record within the Grammys eligibility period. It’s not just limited to debut albums, however, and any release which first “establishes the public identity of that artist” is counted.
The 2024 edition nominees for this category are: Coco Jones, Gracie Abrams, Fred Again.., Ice Spice, Jelly Roll, Noah Kahan, Victoria Monét, and The War and Treaty.
At last year’s ceremony, Beyoncé received a whopping nine nominations, and won four of her categories – she also became the most nominated artist in music history, tied with her husband Jay-Z. She was closely followed by Kendrick Lamar (8 nominations and 3 wins).
There was plenty of speculation ahead of the ceremony around who could make the shortlist, with Ed Sheeran, Arctic Monkeys, Raye and Fred Again.. all popping up as frequent guesses. But who has actually made the cut?
