The nominees for the 2022 Grammy Awards have been announced and this year, Olivia Rodrigo is leading the pack. Olivia Rodrigo scored seven nominations including ones for the big four categories: Best New Artist, Song Of The Year, Album Of The Year, and Record Of The Year.

Other notable nominations include: Bo Burnham who scored a nomination for Best Music Film, and BTS continues to break through that thick, anti-K-pop, Grammys glass ceiling, scoring another nom, this time for its single “Butter.” The group’s previous Grammy nomination was for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for its single “Dynamite.” Lil Nas X, Jon Batiste, H.E.R., and Doja Cat also made an impressive mark on this year’s nominations

This list of nominees for the 2022 Grammys is the first batch picked under the awards’ revamped nomination process. Instead of the previous secret committee of artists and industry experts that picked a list of nominees, now the nomination went to artist who received the largest number of votes from the entire whole body of eligible Academy members. The Grammys have also expanded the number of nominees in the Big Four categories of the evening; nominees have gone from 8 to 10.

This year’s ceremony featured appearances from: Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr., Board of Trustees chair Tammy Hurt, Gayle King, comedian Nate Bargatze, and artists BTS, H.E.R., Måneskin, Jon Batiste, Carly Pearce and Tayla Parx.

The ceremony itself will air on January 21, 2022 on CBS. A host for the Grammys has yet to be announced, but Trevor Noah got the gig earlier this year for the 2021 ceremony, so who knows, maybe he’ll be asked to return.
