Leer en Español

The nominations for this year’s 64th Grammy nominations are being unveiled this evening (23rd November).

The 2022 Grammy Awards will take place in Los Angeles on 31st January and will be broadcast live on CBS.

Changes to the nominations process were unveiled by the Grammy committee in April. They announce an end to its practice of secret-committee nominations in its main four categories alongside two new awards: the Música Urbana Album and Global Music Performance.

After receiving criticism about its voter pool, it also expanded this to include more voters from underrepresented backgrounds.

Jon Batiste leads all nominees with 11, while Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. have eight each. Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo are tied with seven nominations.

ABBA have been nominated for Record of the Year – the first time they have ever been nominated.
