The nominations for the 2026 Grammy Awards are here. This year, the Recording Academy welcomed 3,800 new voters for this year’s awards, an effort to increase the diversity of the membership pool after facing backlash in recent years. The change had a nominal effect on this year’s nominations with the top awards still tapping the Recording Academy favorites like Billie Eilish and Lady Gaga.
Still, a few historical precedents were made. Kendrick Lamar leads the pack with nine nominations, while Bad Bunny, with seven nods, has his album DeBí TiRAR MáS FOToS, become the second Spanish-language album in history to be nominated for Album of the Year. For the first time, K-pop broke into the major categories with Rosé’s “APT.,” and HUNTR/X’s “Golden” securing spots in Song of the Year and Record of the Year. Clipse and Doechii also gave hip-hop a presence in the major categories.
See the full list of nominations, below. The 2026 Grammy Awards will take place on February 1 at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles.
