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. But there is some good representation for the country in the other categories, including some very interesting nominations in genre-specific categories.

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. The album is nominated for Best Rap Album, while Drake and 21 Savage are also nominated for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song with the viral "Rich Flex" and for Best Melodic Rap Performance for "Spin Bout U." Producer Metro Boomin is also up for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, which includes nods for Drake & 21 Savage's "More M's" and Young Thug's "Oh U Went," which features the rapper. Drake's nominations are all collaborative because his chart-busting For All the Dogs will be eligible for the 2025 Grammys. – Continue reading here.

Arcángel Celebrates His 20th Anniversary With Big Outdoor Shows in Toronto and Montreal

The Puerto Rican urban music star brought his global La 8va Maravilla tour to Montreal's Beachclub and Toronto's RBC Amphitheatre on July 11-12 for its first two stops of the summer, performing over an hour and a half of hits spanning two decades.

Arcángel is celebrating 20 years of success. The Latin urban music legend kicked off his global trek, the La 8va Maravilla tour, with two Canadian stops, playing Montreal's Beachclub on July 11 and Toronto's RBC Amphitheatre on July 12. The Puerto Rican hitmaker treated the audience to over an hour and a half of hits including 2000s classics and recent party-starters.

Kicking off the show, Lunay delivered a charismatic opening set, showcasing his knack for melodies through tracks like "Fantasías" and "Soltera," which reached the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019 thanks to its hit remix with Bad Bunny and Daddy Yankee. The track received a vibrant roar from the crowd upon its first note, and Lunay delivered all three verses as fans sang every word.
