The 2012 Grammy nominations were announced last night with Kanye West leading the contenders with 7; Bruno Mars and Adele follow with 6.
Not going to lie.. we are pretty happy with the list below. Major props to Bon Iver and Mumford & Sons for their Record of the Year and Song of the Year nominations! We’re huge fans and are glad to see that some non-Top 40 songs are getting proper recognition. Well done, Recording Academy!
Winners for all 78 categories will be announced at the Grammy awards ceremony and show on February 12th on CBS. There’s a good chance we’ll be having a Grammy viewing party to celebrate!
