There were the usual round of perceived ‘snubs’ too, with artists like Miley Cyrus failing to get a mention anywhere, and BTS only receiving one nomination.
Also indie rocker Liz Phair and her comeback album Soberish – hailed by music critics – was completely ignored.
British band Wolf Alice released their third album Blue Weekend to thunderous critical acclaim, but it was left out of all the rock music categories.
To have been eligible for a nomination this year, a recording will have had to have been released between Sept. 1, 2020, and Sept. 30, 2021.

That means the likes of British superstar Adele will not be on the list, as she released her comeback single Easy On Me in October.
Recording Academy Chief Executive Harvey Mason Jr. and Tammy Hurt, chair of the academy’s board of trustees were in attendance for the nominations reveal.
The Recording Academy has eliminated nominations review committees this year meaning winners will now be determined by a majority vote from Recording Academy voting members.
There are famously a long list of categories – 88 to be exact.
Two new categories have been included this year: Best Global Music Performance (Global Music Field) and Best Música Urbana Album (Latin Music Field).
The music industry’s biggest night is scheduled to take place on Jan. 31 in Los Angeles at the Staples Center, which will soon be changing its name.
