The duo, Twenty One Pilots, made a name this year after their hits “Stressed Out” and “Ride,” as well as singing “Heathens” for the soundtrack of the DC movie, “Suicide Squad.” The group has been nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media.
Another duo who made waves this year, The Chainsmokers, gained three nods for their hit song “Closer.” The EDM pair is surprisingly nominated for the Best New Artist award category.
Another artist elated over her first Grammy nomination is Demi Lovato. Her latest album, “Confident” has been nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album.
Her ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas was one of the first people who congratulated Demi on the new milestone in her career.
Chance the Rapper also made Grammy history as being nominated for seven categories, all while being unsigned and promoting an album that has yet to see a purchasable release.
Producer Mike Will Made-It also earned his first nomination year for his work with Beyonce’s “Lemonade.”
The Grammy Awards will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California on February 12, and will be hosted by late night talk show host James Corden. The nominees were announced on “CBS This Morning” by “No” singer Meaghan Trainor.
Grammy ballots will be mailed on December 14 and must be completed and returned by January 13. The winners will be selected by the Recording Academy’s nearly 14,000 voting members.
