Taylor Swift and first-time nominees Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan boast six nominations each.

Last year, female artists dominated the main categories. This year this continues in some form, but the main trend seems to be species diversity. In the album of the year category, in addition to ”Cowboy Carter”, André 3000’s new age, alt-jazz ”New Blue Sun” and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier’s ”Djesse Vol.” are included. 4.” Rising pop stars Carpenter and Roan round it out with ”Short n’ Sweet” and ”The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” respectively, as well as Swift’s ”The Tortured Poets Department” . Eilish’s ”Hit Me Hard and Soft” and Charli XCX’s rave song ”BRAT”.

Eilish is the only artist whose first three albums were nominated for album of the year.

Last year, Swift won album of the year with Midnights, breaking the record for the most wins in this category with four albums. She became the first woman to have seven career nominations in this category this year.

“The breadth and diversity of genres represented across the board is new and truly exciting,” says Recording Academy CEO and President Harvey Mason Jr. He credits his success to an active and growing voting body. ”We’ve been very intentional about how we look at our membership and try to rebalance our membership. “So it’s not just gender or people of different races, but genre parity and trying to make sure that all different genres of music from different regions and different locations are represented in every way possible.”

Only recordings commercially released in the United States between September 16, 2023 and August 30, 2024 were eligible for nomination. The final round of Grammy voting, which will determine the winners, will take place between December 12 and January 3.
