The nominations for the Grammys 2026 were announced recently, and it was Kendrick Lamar who topped the list.
Lamar leads the pack of nominees for the 2026 Grammys with nine nods, in nominations rolled out by the Recording Academy on Friday, as per Variety. The rapper, who took home the most trophies at the 2025 music awards with five, is up for nine awards, including Album of the Year (for his most recent, GNX), Best Rap Album, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. He faces competition for the night's top award - album of the year - from Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Lady Gaga, Leon Thomas, Tyler, the Creator, Clipse, Pusha T & Malice. Lady Gaga also earned a spot on the list, securing seven nominations. The six nominations for Bad Bunny, the impending Super Bowl halftime showman, came as welcome news for anyone worried that Latin music might be shut out of the major categories, as it often has been, and relegated to the Latin Grammys. Bad Bunny was shut out of the top three categories in the past couple of years, but there has been a fresh influx of voters with dual voting rights for both the Grammys and Latin Grammys, so any such overlooking was less likely to happen again. The global superstar is up for all three of the top categories, in fact, album, record and song of the year. Here are the nominees in the main categories.
