Grammys Nominations 2022: Kanye West Gets Surprise Nom, Jon Batiste Leads With 11

Grammys Nominations 2022: Kanye West Gets Surprise Nom, Jon Batiste Leads With 11

The list of Grammys nominations is here and Jon Baptiste leads all nominees with 11 total nominations. Last year, Beyoncé led all nominees with nine total. Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, and H.E.R. have eight nominations while Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo picked up seven apiece.

The biggest surprise is that Ye — the artist formerly known as Kanye West — picked up an Album of the Year nomination for Donda. The album, which was recently released as a deluxe edition, controversially features two of the year’s most disgraced musicians, Marilyn Manson and DaBaby.

The Best Rock Album nominees will make classic rock fans happy, with AC/DC’s Power Up, Black Pumas’ live album Live From Studio A Red, Chris Cornell’s posthumous No One Sings Like You Anymore, Foo Fighters’ Medicine at Midnight, and Paul McCartney’s McCartney III getting nods.

Fleet Foxes, Halsey, Japanese Breakfast, Arlo Parks, and St. Vincent were all nominated for Best Alternative Album.

President Barack Obama received another Best Spoken Word Album nomination for A Promised Land, up against Dave Chappelle and LeVar Burton. Obama was last nominated for and won the category in 2007 for The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.

In another controversial nomination, Louis C.K. snagged one for Best Comedy Album. He has won the award twice before.

Jay-Z is now the most nominated artist in Grammys history after he surpassed Quincy Jones’ 80 today.

Two brand-new categories have been added to this year’s ceremony: Best Global Music Performance (Global Music Field) and Best Música Urbana Album (Latin Music Field). The first round of Grammy voting opened on October 22 and ran through November 5. The final round of voting begins December 6, running through January 5. All albums released between Sept. 1, 2020 – Sept. 30, 2021 are eligible for a Grammy.

Additionally, the number of nominees in the major categories increased from eight to 10.

The 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards returns to Los Angeles’ STAPLES Center on Mon, Jan. 31, 2022. The ceremony will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on-demand on Paramount+ at 8-11:30 pm ET / 5-8:30 pm PT.
