Jon Batiste leads the Grammy nominations in a best album category that spans everything from rap to jazz and embraces newcomers such as teen sensation <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/olivia-rodrigo-makes-history-as-youngest-solo-artist-to-top-double-uk-charts-1.1231668" target="_blank">Olivia Rodrigo</a> and veteran Tony Bennett alike. The <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/2022/04/02/five-things-to-watch-for-at-this-years-grammy-awards-in-las-vegas/" target="_blank">2022 Grammy Awards</a>, which was previously suspended indefinitely owing to the <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/world/us-news/2022/01/15/omicron-pushes-us-hospitals-close-to-breaking-point/">pandemic</a>, was <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/2022/01/18/2022-grammy-awards-announce-new-date-and-venue/" target="_blank">rescheduled for April 3</a> in Las Vegas. <b>Scroll through the gallery below to see the nominees for Album of the Year.</b> Batiste and Justin Bieber will compete for the top prize — Album of the Year — along with Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, RnB artist Doja Cat, singer-songwriter H.E.R., rapper Kanye West, Bennett's collaboration with Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and rapper Lil Nas X. Nominees in each of the top three categories — Album, Song and Record of the Year — have been increased to 10 from eight for the first time. "Adding more nominees is a way to cast a wider net for more music, more artists and more genres," Recording Academy chief executive Harvey Mason Jr said of the change. Eilish (<i>Happier Than Ever</i>), Rodrigo (<i>Drivers License</i>), Bieber (<i>Peaches</i>) and Batiste (<i>Freedom</i>) were among the 10 nominees for Record of the Year, along with Swedish band Abba's new comeback single, <i>I Still Have Faith in You</i>. Swift, an 11-time Grammy winner, snagged an Album of the Year nod for her <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/taylor-swift-is-releasing-a-new-album-evermore-at-midnight-1.1126330" target="_blank">bestselling <i>Evermore</i></a><i>,</i> but was shut out of the other races, disappointing fans who felt she had been snubbed. "So stoked <i>Evermore</i> has been honoured like this," Swift tweeted. Rodrigo, 18, who burst into the US charts in January when her single <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/2022/01/09/olivia-rodrigo-celebrates-anniversary-of-drivers-license-release/" target="_blank"><i>Drivers </i></a><a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/2022/01/09/olivia-rodrigo-celebrates-anniversary-of-drivers-license-release/" target="_blank"><i>License</i></a> went viral, received seven nods, including Best New Artist and an album nod for <i>Sour</i>. Batiste, who also leads the band on <i>The Late Show with Stephen Colbert</i>, scored nominations across the board, ranging from Best Contemporary Classical Composition and Best American Roots Performance to Best Music Video for track <i>Freedom</i> and Album of the Year for <i>We Are</i>, which was inspired by the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020. "Wow! Thank you God!! I love everybody! I’m so grateful to my collaborators and to my ancestors," Batiste wrote on Twitter. <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/2021/07/11/who-is-arooj-aftab-pakistani-singer-scores-nod-in-barack-obamas-summer-playlist/" target="_blank">Pakistani singer Arooj Aftab</a>, whose Sufi-infused jazz sounds caught the attention of Barack Obama, has been nominated in the Best New Artist category. Rapper Jay-Z has become the most Grammy-nominated artist of all time, taking his career total to 83, surpassing the previous record held by music producer Quincy Jones. Paul McCartney, with two nods, is in second place with 81. The Recording Academy in 2021 changed the way nominations and winners are chosen after allegations that the process was open to rigging, when Canadian artist <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/five-of-the-grammy-awards-biggest-upsets-of-all-time-from-the-beatles-to-beyonce-and-the-weeknd-1.1182396" target="_blank">The Weeknd</a> received zero nods. Nominees this time were selected by all 11,000 voting members of the Recording Academy, instead of smaller committees whose names were not revealed. Winners are also chosen by the musicians, producers and songwriters who belong to the academy. K-Pop band BTS, who have yet to win a Grammy despite dominating the US music charts for almost two years, scored a single nod on Tuesday for the performance of their <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/bts-rack-up-views-with-smooth-butter-track-their-second-english-song-after-dynamite-1.1226934" target="_blank">top-selling single <i>Butter</i></a> in the pop group field. West, who's had a contentious relationship with the Grammys, got five nods for his <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/2021/08/30/kanye-west-claims-donda-was-released-without-his-approval/" target="_blank">hit album <i>Donda</i></a>, dedicated to his late mother. Bennett, 95, who has Alzheimer's disease, and Gaga got five nods for their Cole Porter duets album <i>Love for Sale</i>, which is expected to be Bennett's last. The eligibility period for the Grammys ran from September 2020 to September 2021, meaning <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/music/2021/11/19/adeles-30-review-new-album-hits-emotional-depths-in-a-heartache-laced-journey/" target="_blank">Adele's new album, <i>30</i></a>, will have to wait until next time.
