The multi-genre performer and recent Oscar winner, Jon Batiste, scored the most nominations with 11 on Tuesday, making him the biggest surprise.
Batiste's album of the year nominee was "We Are" and the record of the year was "Freedom", both of which are about New Orleans. His nominations include R&B, jazz, American roots music, classical and music video.
Oh my goodness. Batiste told The Associated Press that he was still in a state of astonishment and shock after learning of the nominations. I am really happy that we were able to make something that was artistic in nature.
By the time the Recording Academy announced its nominees for the show, Doja Cat and H.E.R. had eight nominations each. Both of them had seven nominations.
The Weeknd, a pop star who claimed he would not allow his label to submit his music, received three nominations. He slammed the Grammys, calling them corrupt, after he received zero nominations for his single, Blinding Lights.
The Weeknd was nominated for an album of the year award for his work on "Donda" and "Planet Her", even though he said he wouldn't attend the future Grammys. His third nomination was for his appearance on West's single "Hurricane."
Harvey Mason Jr., the Recording Academy's CEO, said that he liked the fact that no one was thinking about what happened before, what was the controversy, or where the artist was making music last year. He said voters focused on the music and not the work of other artists.
The voters are not getting caught up in the reputations of any other outside noise or the history of artists, he said. I think they are voting for things that they are acknowledging as excellence.
After seeing the list of nominees, Mason was happy with the new peer-driven voting system. The academy has more than 11,000 members and they can vote for up to 10 categories in three genres. The top four awards will be voted on by voters.
The anonymous nominations review committee was the group that determined the nominees for key awards. Some committee members favored projects based on personal relationships and promoted them.
Harvey believes the initiative will produce fair results in the long run despite the fact that the new voting system might not be perfect at first.
Harvey said that they didn't get every single one perfect. I know that there will be some people that feel left out. That makes me sad because I don't want anyone to feel that way. I feel like we are headed in the right direction. The way our voters did the work was good.
Batiste said he wanted to give props to the Grammys. They tried to make the process more inclusive and focused on the music. Other creators listened to the music and decided to give me nominations.
The academy increased the number of nominees in the general field from eight to 10. Record, album, song of the year and best new artist are some of the categories that will be affected by the change.
Harvey said the academy increased slots in the general field after seeing an increase in voting participation and a high number of entries submitted for consideration for the gramophone.
He said that they thought the timing was right. We saw an opportunity to highlight music, highlight the industry and highlight excellence in a bigger way. The nomination review committee is no longer needed because of the change in voting structure. This gives our voters an opportunity to have their voice heard, but also gives them a chance to have a bigger pool to draw from when it comes to that one winner that takes home the gramophone.
Other albums of the year nominees include: West's "Donda," Eilish's "Happier Than Ever," Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga's "Love for Sale," and Taylor's "Sour."
The best score soundtrack for visual media category was won by Batiste for his work on Pixar's "soul", which was nominated for an Oscar. He had three nominations, but no wins.
Bennett & Gaga's "I Get a Kick Out of You", ABBA's "I Still Have Faith in You", and "Peaches" featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon are some of the records that Batiste will compete for.
Jay-Z is the most nominated artist of all time with 83. Quincy Jones has been nominated 80 times.
