With the 59th annual Grammy Awards just days away, let’s take a close look at the complete list of 2017 Grammy nominees.
The Grammys are music’s biggest night of the year. Beyonce leads the pack for most Grammy nomination this year with nine. Not too far behind is Drake, Rihanna, Kanye West and Chance the Raper with eight nominations each. With the event, just days away still no word on who is presenting awards during the live telecast.
Performing this year are superstars John Legend, Bruno Mars, Carrie Underwood and Metallica. Music divas Katy Pery, Adele and mother with three hearts, Beyonce are also scheduled to perform.
Significant changes have been made this year on who is eligible to win a Grammy. It’s the first year the Recording Acadamy will accept recordings released solely through streaming services. The only stipulation is the recording must have existed for at least one full year from the submission deadline. This is great news for self-publishing artists who are not under a major label.
After five years of hosting the Grammys, LL Cool J’s services are no longer needed. The Brit-born and host of the Late, Late Show, James Corden will take over host duties for the Grammys.
The 59th annual Grammy Awards will be held at the famed Staple Center in Los Angeles, California and will air live on CBS Television Network Sunday, February 12, 2017, at 8ET/5PT.
