the nominees for the 66th annual Grammy Awards were announced on Friday morning, women ruled — make that, owned — the Big 4 categories: Album, Record and Song of the Year, plus Best New Artist.The diva domination was most drastically disproportionate in what are really the Big 2 categories: Album and Record of the Year. There is only one single, solitary man — former “Late Show” bandleader Jon Batiste, the 2022 Album of the Year winner for “We Are,” who is nominated again for “World Music Radio” — among the 16 nominees.

for the 2024 Grammy Awards, which were announced Friday, only one man, Jon Batiste, will compete for the night's top prize, Album of the Year.The rest of the nominees are the same artists who have been dominating both the charts and the zeitgeist for the past several months, so much so that you can probably guess without me even saying their names: Taylor, Olivia, SZA, Miley, Lana. The indie-darling super-group boygenius and the perennially relevant Janelle Monáe round out the group.It's a similar list for the Record of the Year Grammy nominations, with Batiste again the sole male in the group.

The nominations for the 2024 Grammys are out, and Album of the Year is a predictably stacked category! Now we want to know who deserves the win.
