Grammy Awards 2014: Complete list of nominees

Jay Z Philips Arena Atlanta-7 ed


The countdown to Music’s Biggest Night is on. Jay Z has nine nods, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have seven, but the most impressive is my girl Lorde, 17, who has scored four for her hit debut album Pure Heroine and my fave single on the airwaves right now, “Royals,” for Song of the Year.

Who will rule the Best Rap Album throne at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards? From Kanye West for Yeezus to Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid, the competition is stiff. You’ll have to tune in to see on Jan. 26, 2014, at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
