The 2017 Grammy nominations were announced Tuesday morning and, as expected, Beyoncé leads everyone with nine nominations on the heels of her hit “Lemonade” album. Rihanna, Drake and Kanye West are close behind with eight nods each.
The Grammy Awards will air live on Sunday, Feb. 12, and are hosted by James Corden.
– Album of the year
“25,” Adele
“Lemonade” Beyoncé
“Purpose” Justin Bieber
“Views” Drake
“A Sailor’s Guide to Earth,” Sturgill Simpson
IMMEDIATE REACTION: As soon as “25” and “Lemonade” were released, everyone knew they would go head-to-head in the show’s biggest category — though it’s still unclear who will walk away with the prize. Bieber had so many hits off of “Purpose” that it would have been surprising if he didn’t get a nod in this category, even though his odds of winning are fairly slim. Drake and Sturgill Simpson were on more than a few prediction lists, though they got in over the late David Bowie’s “Rockstar,” considered a likely contender.
– Record of the year
“Formation,” Beyoncé
“Hello,” Adele
“7 Years,” Lukas Graham
“Work,” Rihanna feat. Drake
“Stressed Out,” Twenty One Pilots
IMMEDIATE REACTION: “Formation” was such a smash (complete with that performance at the Super Bowl) that this is likely Beyoncé’s category to lose. Otherwise, the nominees aren’t too shocking as all of the songs were big hits. Many thought Justin Timberlake’s inescapable “Can’t Stop The Feeling!” could make an appearance here, but it wound up in the “best song written for visual media” category, since it’s from the “Trolls” soundtrack.
– Song of the year
“Formation,” Beyonce
“Hello,” Adele
“I Took a Pill in Ibiza,” Mike Posner
“Love Yourself,” Justin Bieber
“7 Years,” Lukas Graham
IMMEDIATE REACTION: Although Adele will probably walk away with this one, which took the world by storm when it was released last fall, don’t count out “Love Yourself” for this songwriter award – academy voters really like Ed Sheeran, who co-wrote this one with the Biebs. Mike Posner’s “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” is the shocker here, beating out predicted choices such as Bowie’s “Lazarus” and Sia’s “Cheap Thrills.”
– Best new artist
Kelsea Ballerini
The Chainsmokers
Chance the Rapper
Maren Morris
Anderson .Paak
IMMEDIATE REACTION: A big category for country music with Maren Morris and Kelsea Ballerini making the cut. Morris was a safe bet thanks to a hit debut single and lots of critical praise, but Ballerini’s inclusion is a bit of a surprise, though she’s been on a solid rise for the last two years. After his acclaimed album “Coloring Book,” Chance the Rapper was also a lock, along with the Chainsmokers, thanks to their smash single “Closer.” Some critics predicted Anderson .Paak (known as a “genre-stretching R&B; singer-rapper-drummer-producer”), yet he was less of a sure thing in this unpredictable category.
