2026 GRAMMY Awards nominations

The much-anticipated nominations for the 68th annual GRAMMY Awards are out for recordings released between August 31, 2024 through August 30, 2025. 

If you watched the last year’s ceremony, you may remember Kendrick Lamar receiving awards for all five categories he was nominated for, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year. Lamar is once again positioned to sweep some gilded gramophones with nine nominations – the highest number among the list.

Also in the nominations spotlight are Lady Gaga with seven nominations, and Leon Thomas, Sabrina Carpenter, and Bad Bunny each tied with six. Bad Bunny is also set to perform the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show.
