Jon Batiste led the Grammy nominations on Tuesday in a best album field that spanned rap to jazz music and embraced newcomers like teen sensation Olivia Rodrigo and veteran Tony Bennett alike.
Batiste and Justin Bieber will compete for the top prize - album of the year - along with Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, R & B artist Doja Cat, singer-songwriter H.E.R, rapper Kanye West, Bennett's collaboration with Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and rapper Lil Nas X.
Eilish , Rodrigo , Bieber and Batiste were also among the 10 nominees for record of the year, along with Swedish band Abba's new comeback single, "I Still Have Faith in You." Batiste, who also leads the band on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," scored nominations across the board, ranging from classical composition and American roots to his music video "Freedom" and album "We Are," which was inspired by the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020.
Nominees this time were selected by all 11,000 voting members of the Recording Academy, instead of smaller committees whose names were not revealed. Winners are also chosen by the musicians, producers and songwriters who belong to the academy.
