Jon Batiste topped the nominations for the 2022 Grammy Awards, scoring a near-record 11 nods.

The Oscar winner, who currently serves as the band leader on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert and released the album We Are earlier this year, landed nods in the top categories of record of the year and album of the year.

Those and the other two general field categories — song of the year and best new artist — now each feature 10 nominees, up from eight, with the Recording Academy announcing the expansion in a letter to members timed to this year’s announcement.

“We are living at a time of extraordinary growth in music,” the letter reads in part. “As many as 60,000 songs a day are being released or uploaded to streaming services. With so much more music available, there is simply more excellence to recognize — and celebrate. Adding new nominees to these fields is a way to cast a wider net, to make room for more artists and genres from music’s expansive and diverse landscape, and to embrace the spirit of inclusion.”

Beyond that, the Recording Academy says it’s receiving a record number of entries each year, with this year’s total entries reaching nearly 22,000.

Next year, the 64th annual Grammy Awards will be a battle royale between some of the biggest names in the music industry. Though singer Jon Baptise reigns supreme with a staggering 11 nominations, it’s the rap field that may serve as the most contentious clash, with a number of A-listers nominated. On Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 23), Kanye West, Drake, J. Cole, and more dominated the rap categories, with West walking away with five nominations, most for his latest album DONDA.

West, now known as Ye, currently has 22 Grammy wins and will have an opportunity to finally clinch that elusive album of the year win he’s been longing for throughout his career. The storylines are abundant for West; not only does DONDA receive an album of the year look over Drake’s Certified Lover Boy, but he will go against long-time rival Taylor Swift in the same category. West will have an equally tricky path in the best rap album category, as he’ll go against some of the genre’s brightest stars:  J. Cole, Tyler, The Creator, Drake, and last year’s winner, Nas.

As for major snubs, look no further than Drake and Megan Thee Stallion. Despite notching the year’s best number for first-week units moved — as well as a record-breaking nine songs in the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 — in its debut week, Certified Lover Boy failed to get any recognition for album of the year. (The album that held the honor for 2021’s biggest week prior to CLB, Ye’s Donda, was recognized in the AOTY category.) And though Megan netted three awards last year, including best new artist, her debut album Good News didn’t receive any nominations today. Still, Megan’s 2021 single “Thot S–t” found recognition in best rap performance.

Be on the lookout for the 64th annual Grammy Awards, which will take place in Los Angeles on Jan. 31.
