Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, Bad Bunny Lead

Lamar earned a leading nine nominations for his album “GNX” and songs “Luther,” “TV Off” and “30 for 30,” potentially adding to his already large haul of 22 Grammy wins, five of which he earned earlier this year for his massive hit single and Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.”

14-time Grammy winner Lady Gaga earned the second-most nominations, earning nods in the top categories for her album “Mayhem” and songs “Abracadabra” and “Disease.”

Puerto Rican rapper-singer Bad Bunny, already a three-time Grammy winner, scored six nominations with his latest album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos,” which was released in January to positive reviews from critics.

Bad Bunny’s Album of the Year nomination for “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” is the second time a Spanish-language album has ever been nominated in that category—the first of which was his own “Un Verano Sin Ti” in 2022—and it could become the first Spanish-language album to win.

Some awards pundits have suggested Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl halftime gig—which sparked some right-wing backlash over his Spanish-language music and opposition to immigration raids—could raise his profile and help him secure Grammy victories, with Billboard writing Grammy voters may rally behind him to show support.

Sabrina Carpenter and her album “Man’s Best Friend,” singer Leon Thomas and audio engineer Serban Ghenea earned six nominations, with rappers Doechii, Tyler, the Creator and Clipse earning five.
