2022 Grammy Nominations List – Variety

The Grammy Awards have launched a unique process for choosing their nominees this 12 months — going with a preferred vote and eliminating the controversial “secret committees” that had curated the ultimate lists in current many years — and though many of the high nominees have been anticipated when the contenders have been introduced Tuesday, the highest one undoubtedly was not.

Jon Batiste — veteran jazz keyboardist, musical director of “The Late Present With Stephen Colbert” and a member of one in every of New Orleans’ legendary musical dynasties — leads the nominees with 11, principally for his “We Are” album, but additionally for his “Soul” movie rating. Whereas “We Are” peaked at simply No. 86 on the Billboard 200, its big variety of nominations converse to its multi-genre attraction, his familiarity to Academy voters by way of “Colbert” (and a cosign from Grammy legend Quincy Jones), and most of all his musicianship.

Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. comply with with eight nominations every, and Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo are shut behind with seven.

Notably, newcomer Rodrigo, an 18-year-old actor who launched her musical profession early this 12 months with the viral smash “Drivers License,” is nominated in the entire basic discipline (a.ok.a. “Large 4”) classes: document of the 12 months, album of the 12 months, tune of the 12 months and finest new artist.

Additionally getting a giant look was Lil Nas X with 5 nods — turning into the primary artist from the hip-hop capital of Atlanta to be nominated within the massive classes since OutKast (to whom Nas pays tribute together with his newest single and video, “That’s What I Need,” a transparent homage to OutKast’s 2003 Grammy-winning hit “Hey Ya!”). Grammy favourite Brandi Carlile bought 5, too, and Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak’s Silk Sonic bought 4 — though each of these artists had their new albums come out after this 12 months’s eligibility cut-off, which means they’ll most likely be again with an equally excessive profile subsequent 12 months. (Carlile bought her 5 mentions for 3 totally different singles — she’s even competing towards herself for tune of the 12 months; all of Silk Sonic’s noms have been for “Depart the Door Open.”)

Taylor Swift bought only one nomination as an artist, but it surely’s for arguably the most important one: album of the 12 months, for her “Evermore.” (She received it final time, for “Folklore.”) Kanye West’s “Donda” can be up for the large prize, together with three hip-hop awards. BTS’ displaying was a supply of appreciable hypothesis amongst ARMY members, in fact; ultimately, the group bought one, for pop duo/group for “Butter,” the sae as they beforehand did for “Dynamite.”

Learn the complete listing under.

Talking of the Large 4, the variety of nominees in every class has been expanded from eight to 10. Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, which oversees the Grammys, tells Selection, “We made the choice to increase to 10 pretty just lately. We appeared on the voting, which was up 17% this 12 months, and the quantity of submissions — virtually 22,000, that’s a loopy excessive quantity — and we mentioned, ‘That is an unimaginable alternative for us to honor extra artists and shine a light-weight on extra nice music.’ Historically, the Academy might need studied this for just a few years and achieved a committee, however I believe the best way music is shifting and the trade is evolving, I’m proud to say the Academy is ready to transfer shortly.”

The Grammy Awards are voted on by the Recording Academy’s voting membership physique of round 12,000 music makers, who symbolize all genres and inventive disciplines, together with recording artists, songwriters, producers, mixers, and engineers. Beforehand, nomination-review committees had adjusted the ultimate votes, a course of that started within the mid-Nineties after the nominations had develop into more and more out of contact. Nonetheless, after years of allegations of insider affect — culminating final 12 months, when the Weeknd was shockingly excluded from all nominations regardless of one of the crucial profitable albums and singles of the earlier 12 months — the Academy determined in Could to get rid of the committees in all besides a handful of specialised classes.

One other rule change this 12 months has led to some sophisticated math in the case of tallying up nominations for a few of the greatest stars. Now, anybody who participates on an album as a featured visitor, producer or co-writer is eligible. So West is competing towards himself for album of the 12 months due to his credit on Doja Cat’s album. Swift truly has two nominations, not only one — as a result of she bought added as a co-writer on two Rodrigo tracks, which means she can be competing towards herself for album of the 12 months. Finneas is up towards himself in that class as nicely, as a result of he has a credit score on Bieber’s album in addition to having collaborated on Eilish’s complete undertaking.

Having each producer, author and featured visitor all of a sudden included within the album and document of the 12 months classes additionally makes for some attention-grabbing disparities. At one excessive, almost 200 individuals are nominated for serving to make Bieber’s “Justice” album; on the different finish of the size, Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever” album sports activities simply 5 nominees for album of the 12 months.

Within the strangest irony of all, the Weeknd has three nominations this 12 months, after getting zip final 12 months — though he publicly vowed to not submit his work anymore. He bought in thrice anyway, whether or not he wished to or not, for his featured appearances on West’s and Doja Cat’s albums.

Nominations have been introduced Tuesday morning by way of a world livestream that includes Mason alongside Batiste, Eilish and her brother/ collaborator Finneas, H.E.R., BTS, rock band Måneskin, singer-songwriters Tayla Parx and Carly Pearce, comic Nate Bargatze, Recording Academy chair Tammy Harm and “CBS Mornings” anchor Gayle King.
