The Chemical Brothers, Born in the Echoes Charlie Puth, "See You Again"įlorence + the Machine, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful Here are the nominees for some of the night's biggest awards: (I'm sad to report Best Rock Album is still a morass.)

CBS announced the nominations for the 58th annual Grammy Awards this morning, and the LA rapper is leading the pack with 11 nominations, including nods for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Rap Album. Kendrick Lamar has a stranglehold on music's biggest night.
