2022 Grammy Nominations: Olivia Rodrigo & Doja Cat Are Among The Most Nominated

It’s time for Moira Rose’s favorite season: “awards.” The 2022 Grammy nominations were revealed on Nov. 23 with the help of stars like BTS and H.E.R., and fans will be saying “good 4 u” to Olivia Rodrigo after she earned her first ever Grammy nominations. Rodrigo bagged nods in all of the Big Four categories: Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best New Artist. With seven nominations, Rodrigo is among the most nominated artists, including Jon Batiste (11), Justin Bieber (8), Doja Cat (8), H.E.R. (8), Billie Eilish (7), and Lady Gaga (6).

In a surprise move, the Recording Academy expanded the nominations pool for the Big Four categories from eight to 10 nominees, announcing the change on nominations day. The nominations may also look more mainstream this year, with fewer shocking snubs, and there’s a big reason for that. The Grammys abolished the elusive genre committees that determined the majority of nominations, including the “blue ribbon” committee that decided nominees for the four main General Field categories like Album of the Year. This decision was made after The Weeknd, who had one of the biggest songs of all time with “Blinding Lights” in 2020, called for “transparency” in the Grammys nominations process after he was snubbed entirely. This means the nominees will be decided solely by popular vote among academy members.

And If there are some notable artists missing from the nominations list, it may be because they weren’t eligible this year. Adele, for instance, will not be eligible until the 2023 show, given that her new album 30 and single “Easy On Me” was not released until after the eligibility deadline of Sept. 30, 2021. However, other artists declined to submit their music at all.

The Weeknd announced that he would no longer submit his work to the Grammys, including his collaboration with Ariana Grande, after his snub from last year’s nominations. Dua Lipa also decided not to submit her smash hit “Levitating” because she reportedly didn’t want voters to worry about supporting her collaborator DaBaby after his homophobic remarks. Lipa’s solo version was not eligible because it was included on her sophomore album Future Nostalgia, which already won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album last year.

The 2022 Grammy Awards will air on Jan. 31. Here’s who is up for a Grammy this year, including some surprise nominees such as President Barack Obama for Best Spoken Word Album, a category he previously won in 2006 and 2008.
