BREAKING: Recording Academy Reveals Nominees For 64th Grammy Awards

The nominees for The 64th Grammy Awards were announced today (Nov. 23) by Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. and Board of Trustees Chair Tammy Hurt.

To help reveal the nominees of all 86 categories, the Recording Academy also enlisted country star Carly Pearce, as well as comedian Nate Bargatze, past Grammy nominee Jon Batiste, past Grammy nominees BTS, four-time Grammy award-winner H.E.R., CBS Mornings anchor Gayle King, rock band Måneskin, and past Grammy nominee Tayla Parx.

In the general categories, including Best New Artist, and Album, Song, and Record Of The Year, the Recording Academy expanded the nominee count from 8 to 10. This is also the first year that the nominees will reflect the elimination of nomination review committees in general and genre fields, as well as other changes.

The 2022 Grammy Awards will return to the Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Monday, Jan. 31, 2022, broadcasting live on the CBS Television Network and streaming live and on demand on Paramount+ at 8 – 11:30 p.m. ET / 5-8:30 p.m. PT.
