And the Grammy goes to…
Well, we don’t know just yet but we do have the nominations for you… with a few surprises included!
Male artists led the nominations announced for the 2013 star-studded ceremony as fun, Frank Ocean, Mumford & Sons, Jay-Z, Kanye West and Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys landed six nods each for the awards.
One of our favourite bands, fun, hold nominations for the four main categories for record, song and album of the year and best new artist.
The group scored a huge hit with its first single, ‘We Are Young’, and then followed that up with its successful album “Some Nights” and single of the same name.
The winners will be announced at the televised awards show in Los Angeles on February 10.
British singer Adele dominated the Grammy Awards last year with her album 21, but this year it’s male artists that take the lead in the album of the year category, where Ocean and fun are competing with The Black Keys, Mumford & Sons and Jack White.
Rihanna also landed three nominations, including best solo pop performance for ‘Where Have You Been’.
Kelly Clarkson was one of the few leading female nominees, picking up three nominations, including record of the year and best pop vocal album.
Adele, who swept the awards in February with six accolades including the top three, landed only one nomination this year for best pop solo performance, as she did not release any music in the awards’ time frame.
British rock legends The Who will receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in February.
