"As announced Friday morning by the academy, Lamar leads nominees for next year's ceremony with nine nods in all, followed by Gaga and the producers Cirkut and Jack Antonoff, each of whom has seven nominations, and Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter and Leon Thomas, each of whom has six. Other top nominees include the rappers Doechii, Clipse and Tyler, the Creator as well as the producers Sounwave and Andrew Watt, the rock band Turnstile and the recording engineer Serban Ghenea."
"For Lamar, the album of the year nod - for his "GNX," which came out with about half an hour's notice last November - follows a triumphant showing at the most recent Grammys ceremony, where the Compton-born rapper won record of the year and song of the year with "Not Like Us," the festive Drake diss he went on to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show."
Kendrick Lamar and Lady Gaga will compete for album of the year at the 68th Grammy Awards. Lamar leads all nominees with nine total nominations. Gaga and producers Cirkut and Jack Antonoff have seven nominations each. Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter and Leon Thomas have six nominations apiece. Other major nominees include Doechii, Clipse, Tyler, the Creator, Sounwave, Andrew Watt, Turnstile and Serban Ghenea. The ceremony will take place Feb. 1 at Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles. Lamar's GNX was released with minimal notice last November and he recently won record and song of the year with "Not Like Us." Gaga's Mayhem marks a return to dance-pop and she is nominated for record and song with "Abracadabra."
