Billboard Canada’s Richard Trapunski provides the following.


The 2024 Grammy nominations were announced Nov. 10. SZA leads the pack for most nominations, followed closely by Phoebe Bridgers, Victoria Monét and engineer/mixer Serban Ghenea. Find the complete list on Billboard.

At first glance, it looks like a slow year for Canadian artists at the Grammys. Canadians are mostly absent from the "Big Three" categories — Song of the Year, Album of the Year and Record of the Year.

Drake has ended his boycott of the Grammys and submitted his collaborative album with 21 Savage, Her Loss, for consideration this year. The Grammys weren't hesitant to reward him again.
