In pole position fra gli artisti che aspirano a un Grammy quest’anno c’è Beyoncé, con nove nomination, seguita ruota da Drake, Rihanna e Kanye West, tutti a quota otto. La cerimonia di premiazione sarà il 12 febbraio in diretta dallo Staples Center di Los Angeles.
Nella categoria Album of the Year , che premia il miglio Lp del 2016, Lemonade di Beyoncé se la dovrà vedere con 25 di Adele, Views di Drake, Purpose di Justin Bieber e A Sailor’s Guide to Earth dell’artista country John Sturgill Simpson.
Beyoncé e Adele sono le uniche artiste ad essersi accaparrate una nomination nelle tre categorie più importanti – ovvero Album of the Year, Song of the Year e Record of the Year – con i rispettivi singoli Formation e Hello pronti ad affrontare Love Yourself di Justin Bieber, 7 Years di Lukas Graham e I Took a Pill in Ibiza di Mike Posner.
A testimonianza del successo incredibile raggiunto da Lemonade, Beyoncé è anche in lizza per la categoria Best Pop Solo Performance con Hold Up, Best Rap/Sung Performance per la sua collaborazione assieme a Kendrick Lamar in Freedom, fino alla Best Rock Performance grazie a Don’t Hurt Yourself realizzata con Jack White.
Rivelazione di questa edizione è certamente Chance the Rapper grazie alle sue sette nomination e con la sua No Problem candidata in due categorie, Best Rap Song e Best Rap Performance, mentre il suo Coloring Book è in lizza per aggiudicarsi la categoria Best Rap Album.
Chance, tuttavia, se la dovrà vedere con Drake, Kanye e il suo The Life of Pablo, il ritorno dei De La Soul And The Anonymous Nobody, Blank Face LP di Schoolboy Q e contro DJ Khaled e il suo Major Key.
Con il suo trionfale canto del cigno, Blackstar, David Bowie ha ottenuto invece quattro nomination, fra cui quella in Best Rock Song, Best Rock Performance e nella categoria Best Alternative Music Album contro Radiohead (A Moon Shaped Pool), Bon Iver (22, A Million), Iggy Pop (Post Pop Depression) e P.J. Harvey (The Hope Six Demolition Project).
