The big winner when the Grammy nominations were announced on Wednesday night was Kanye West, who leads the field with 7 nominations. However, the rapper was noticeably snubbed in the Album Of The Year category. Most of his noms came for rap awards.
Adele, on the other hand, is poised to be the golden girl of the Grammys, getting noms in all major categories – including Album, Record and Song Of The Year. In total, the British songstress scored 6 nominations.
Other artists scoring 6 nominations were Bruno Mars and the Foo Fighters.
AND, two of our favorites, Rihanna and Lady GaGa scored nominations for Album Of The Year! Woo hoo! Plus, Katy Perry is up for Record Of The Year for her smash Firework. And Nicki Minaj is up for Best New Artist!
