Kendrick Lamar follows with 7 noms including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Rap Album. Bruno Mars is next in line with 6 nominations and SZA is the most nominated female with five.
Joining Jay Z and Kendrick in the Album of the Year category is Childish Gambino’s “Awaken, My Love!”, Lorde’s “Melodrama”, and Bruno Mars “24k Magic”. Record of the Year continues the male-heavy theme with this years nominees Jay Z “The Story of OJ”, “Kendrick Lamar “Humble”, Bruno Mars “24k Magic”, Childish Gambino’s “Redbone”, and Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber for “Despacito”. The unstoppable “Despacito” trio are also nominated for Song of the Year and Best Pop/ Duo Group Performance giving Justin 3 Grammy nominations.
Joining “Despacito” for Song of the Year which celebrates songwriters are Jay Z’s “4:44”, Julia Michaels “Issues”, Logic’s “1-800-273-8255”, and Bruno Mars “That’s What I Like”. In the coveted Best New Artist category we’ve got Alessia Cara, Khalid, Lil Uzi Vert, Julia Michaels, and SZA are all up for the award. You’ll see more familiar names in the Best Pop Solo Performance which includes Kelly Clarkson’s “Love So Soft”, Kesha’s “Praying”, Lady Gaga’s “Million Reasons”, Pink “What About Us”, and Ed Sheeran “Shape of You”.
If you were counting on seeing Taylor Swift’s “Reputation” on the noms list, rest assured the eligibility period for the 2018 Grammys was October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017. “Look What You Made Me Do” was released in August so it’s eligible for this year but the rest of Taylor’s “Reputation” album will be eligible for the 2019 show. However, Taylor did snag two noms this year including her Best Song Written for Visual Media for her Fifty Shades Darker song “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” and as a songwriter for Best Country Song in Little Big Town’s “Better Man”.
We gotta say, we’re surprised that we don’t see Ed Sheeran’s name a little more here, and where is Harry Styles? The Grammys will air live from Madison Square Garden in NYC on Sunday January 28th. So what is your first REACTION to the Grammy noms? Get to typing in the comments below! Thanks for tuning in, I’m your host Emile Ennis Jr.
