Two new divisions have been added to the categories this year: Best Global Music Performance and Best Música Urbana Album. Artists up for these categories include global stars Bad Bunny, Kali Uchis, Arooj Aftab and Burna Boy – among other first-time nominees.
Jon Batiste sweeps the board with 11 nominations, while Doja Cat, Justin Bieber and H. E. R follow with eight each.
Pop sensations Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish both hold seven nominations this year. BTS continue to set records as the first K-pop act to join the Record of the Year shortlist, with Butter. ABBA have joined the history books with their first ever nomination too, for Record of the Year with I Still Have Faith In You.
