JAY-Z Leads Diverse 2018 Grammy Awards Nominees with Eight Nods: See the Full List

Awards season is almost upon us — and the Grammy nominations for 2018 are out.

Soulful singer/songwriter Andra Day announced the nominees for the annual music awards show Tuesday morning during an appearance on CBS This Morning, and the industry’s biggest stars are going head-to-head for the coveted honors.

This year’s crop of nominees might be the Grammy’s most diverse class yet, following a year in which Recording Academy President Neil Portnow went on the offensive after many accused the annual awards show of having a race problem.

Big winners include several rap and R&B stars, like JAY-Z, who was nominated in three of the awards’ four major categories for his album 4:44, raking in a total of eight nods. Kendrick Lamar closely followed, getting recognition in seven categories.

Read on for the first round of nominations and head over to Grammy.com for the complete list of nods.
