Last year, Taylor Swift, the Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar cleaned up at the 2016 Grammys, even though the show itself missed a few marks. It's set to happen all over again come February, however, and the nominees for the 59th Grammy Awards have just been announced.
Beyoncé leads the pack of nominated artists with a whopping nine nods for Lemonade — appearing in major categories like Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year, as well as a slew of genre-spanning categories like Best Pop Solo Performance ("Hold Up"), Best Rock Performance (for the Jack White-assisted "Don't Hurt Yourself"), Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Rap/Sung Performance (for the Kendrick Lamar-featuring "Freedom"). The visual components of Lemonade weren't ignored either, with "Formation" going up for Best Music Video and Lemonade in the running for Best Music Film.
Drake didn't have too bad a showing either, appearing on the nomination list eight times in total between his own album VIEWS and appearances on Rihanna's "Work" and Partynextdoor's "Come See Me." Rihanna herself and Kanye West each received eight nominations, as well.
Adele, Justin Bieber and David Bowie also got their fair share of nominations this year.
Other notable nominees include Chance the Rapper and Anderson .Paak in the Best New Artist category, going up against Kelsea Ballerini, the Chainsmokers and Maren Morris.
Rock categories of note include Best Rock Performance, which pits Alabama Shakes, Beyoncé and Jack White, David Bowie, Disturbed and Twenty One Pilots up against each other; Best Rock Song, which sees David Bowie, Radiohead, Metallica, Twenty One Pilots and Highly Suspect facing off; and Best Rock Album, which puts Blink-182, Cage the Elephant, Gojira, Panic! At the Disco and Weezer up against each other.
Baroness, Gojira, Korn, Magedeth and Periphery were nominated for Best Metal Performance, while Bon Iver, David Bowie, PJ Harvey, Iggy Pop and Radiohead were nominated for Best Alternative Music Album.
BJ the Chicago Kid, Solange, Rihanna, KING, Maxwell, Gallant, Anderson .Paak all turned up across the R&B fields, while the rap categories prominently feature the likes of Drake, D.R.A.M., Kanye West, Chance the Rapper and ScHoolboy Q.
In the soundtrack category, Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto (The Revenant), Ennio Morricone (The Hateful Eight), Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein (Stranger Things), John Williams (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) and Thomas Newma (Bridge of Spies) are all up for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media.
