2022 Grammy Award Nominations: Jon Batiste, Olivia Rodrigo And Doja Cat Land Major Nods

The 64th annual Grammy Awards ceremony will take place on Jan. 31, 2022.

Jon Batiste and Olivia Rodrigo were among the artists who cemented their places in the pop culture zeitgeist on Tuesday by dominating the 2022 Grammy Award nominations.

BTS, Billie Eilish, Carly Pearce and other artists revealed the nominees, alongside Recording Academy President Harvey Mason Jr.

With a staggering 11 nominations, Batiste scored the most nods of any artist this year, including for Record of the Year for “Freedom” and Album of the Year for “We Are.” Justin Bieber and Doja Cat followed, with eight nominations apiece. Rodrigo proved her unstoppable star power by scoring a total of seven nominations, including all of the “Big Four” categories: Song of the Year, Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist.

The 64th annual Grammy Awards ceremony are due to take place in January and will honor the best music released from Sept. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2021, across 86 categories. (That means that despite the sterling reviews Adele has received for her fourth album “30,” she won’t be eligible for any Grammys until 2023 due to recording academy rules.)

A host for the ceremony has not yet been announced.

This year’s nominations reflect a number of behind-the-scenes changes. In April, the Recording Academy announced it would do away with its anonymous “nomination review committees,” which have been controversial for a long time. Instead, it will allow its more than 11,000 voters to choose nominees in a variety of categories ― with the intention of giving artists like BTS and The Weeknd, notably snubbed in years past, a better shot at Grammy gold in the future.

The academy also will also distribute two new awards this year: Best Global Music Performance and Best Música Urbana Album.

If the most recent Grammy Awards feel a bit fresher in your mind that usual, that’s because the 2021 ceremony was held March 14, rather than January or early February, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 64th Grammy Awards will air live from Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Jan. 31, 2022.
