Last week, the Recording Academy revealed nominees for the 64th Annual Grammy Awards and announced that, for the first time, there are 10 nominees in each of the General Field Categories: Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Best New Artist. This year’s top nominees include Jon Batiste (11), Justin Bieber (8), Doja Cat (8), H.E.R. (8), Billie Eilish (7), and Olivia Rodrigo (7). As the only peer-selected music accolade, the Grammy Awards are voted on by the Recording Academy’s voting membership body of music makers, who represent all genres and creative disciplines, including recording artists, songwriters, producers, mixers, and engineers.

Prior to the 64th Annual Grammy Awards telecast, the Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony will take place at the Microsoft Theater at 12:30 p.m. PST and streamed live on Grammy.com and the Recording Academy’s YouTube channel.
