Kanye will also be battling it out with his rival Drake in the Best Rap Album category, as well as Tyler, The Creator, Nas, and J. Cole.  

The rapper’s tenth album Donda is up against Drake’s Certified Love Boy.  

American musician Jon Batiste was the most awarded artist for his album We Are.

Batiste, 35, is a veteran jazz keyboardist and also the musical director of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. 

Impressive: Veteran jazz keyboardist Jon Batiste was the most awarded artist for his album We Are, and got 11 nominations in total 


Torch singers: Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish tied with seven nominations each 

Both Lil Nas X and Brandi Carlile got an impressive five nominations each, while Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak’s group Silk Sonic received four.

Although Taylor Swift only scored just the one nomination, it was in one the biggest categories – Album of the Year – and she previously won in that category last year for Folklore. 

Best Dance/Electronic Recording was the first category to be announced by Recording Academy Chief Executive Harvey Mason Jr., with nominations including Afrojack, Bonobo and James Blake, on Tuesday morning. 

For Best Rep Performance, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Megan Thee Stallion were all recognized. 

Doja Cat, Lil Nas X, Tyler, The Creator, and Kanye West were selected for Best Melodic Rap. 

Rap battle! Kanye’s Donda will also battle against rival Drake’s Certified Lover Boy in the Best Rap Album category at the 2021 Grammy Awards

There were the usual round of perceived ‘snubs’ too, with artists like Miley Cyrus failing to get a mention anywhere, and BTS only receiving one nomination.

Also indie rocker Liz Phair and her comeback album Soberish – hailed by music critics – was completely ignored.

British band Wolf Alice released their third album Blue Weekend to thunderous critical acclaim, but it was left out of all the rock music categories.

To have been eligible for a nomination this year, a recording will have had to have been released between Sept. 1, 2020, and Sept. 30, 2021. 


Leading the pack: Justin Bieber (left), Doja Cat (right) and H.E.R. all scored eight nods each

That means the likes of British superstar Adele will not be on the list, as she released her comeback single Easy On Me in October. 

Recording Academy Chief Executive Harvey Mason Jr. and Tammy Hurt, chair of the academy’s board of trustees were in attendance for the nominations reveal.  

The Recording Academy has eliminated nominations review committees this year meaning winners will now be determined by a majority vote from Recording Academy voting members.

There are famously a long list of categories – 88 to be exact. 

Two new categories have been included this year: Best Global Music Performance (Global Music Field) and Best Música Urbana Album (Latin Music Field).  

The music industry’s biggest night is scheduled to take place on Jan. 31 in Los Angeles at the Staples Center, which will soon be changing its name.
