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.

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.

These Were Canada's No. 1 Songs and Albums in 2016

As everyone on social media yearns for a decade ago, we take a look at the landmark year for Canadian music when the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and Canadian Albums charts were ruled by Justin Bieber, Drake, The Weeknd, Alessia Cara and more.

The year is 2016: skinny jeans are in style, Instagram photo filters are all the rage, TikTok doesn't exist and Canadian artists are ruling the Billboard charts.

A decade later, many are yearning for the recent past. Decade-old photo carousels have flooded social media feeds. Somehow, 2016 is the latest trend to take over Instagram and TikTok, nostalgically romanticizing a pre-pandemic world before AI ruled, the world, brainrot wasn't a thing and basic human rights weren’t being stripped stateside (though there was also a notable election that year).
