Grammys 2018: Complete list of nominees
The Grammy Awards have embraced rap and hip-hop in the top categories this year, as today's nominations include several major nods each for Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino.
Jay-Z leads this year's pack with eight nominations, while Lamar picked up seven, and pop singer-songwriter Bruno Mars earned six. Gambino, the alter ego of Emmy-winning actor-director Donald Glover, netted five nominations, along with singer Khalid and producer-songwriter No I.D.
One of the year's biggest hits, the remix version of Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber, has become the first non-English-language track to be nominated in both the song and record of the year categories. Album of the year nominees are Jay-Z's "4:44," Gambino's "Awaken, My Love!," Lamar's "Damn.," Lorde's "Melodrama" and Mars' "24K Magic," while the song of the year section includes "4:44," Julia Michaels' "Issues," Logic with Alessia Cara and Khalid's "1-800-273-8255," Mars' "That's What I Like" and "Despacito."
The 60th Grammy Awards show will air live from New York City's Madison Square Garden on Jan. 28.
