As the 2024 Grammy Awards inch closer, the competition heats up with names like Boygenius, Olivia Rodrigo, and Miley Cyrus vying for the coveted Record of the Year title. The list of contenders is a blend of fresh talent and industry staples, including SZA, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Victoria Monét, and Jon Batiste. Here’s a sneak peek at the songs that have made the cut.
For the indie supergroup Boygenius, composed of Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus, this year’s Grammys mark a significant milestone with their debut album, The Record. Their nomination for “Not Strong Enough” is a first for Dacus and Baker, while Bridgers is a seasoned nominee with four previous nods.
Olivia Rodrigo joins the fray with “Vampire,” the standout track from her album Guts. This song isn’t just a one-hit wonder at the Grammys; it’s also in the running for Best Pop Solo Performance. Sharing the spotlight are Swift’s “Anti-Hero,” Cyrus’ chart-topper “Flowers,” SZA’s captivating “Kill Bill,” and Eilish’s introspective “What Was I Made For?,” each competing in multiple categories.
What’s Trending
In a quirky twist, Boygenius recently rated an array of topics from Google Drive to topsheets. Meanwhile, Monét and Batiste round off the Record of the Year category with their hits “On My Mama” and “Worship,” respectively.
SZA leads the pack this year with an impressive nine nominations. Her album SOS has caught the Grammy’s attention in categories like Album of the Year and Best Progressive R&B Album. Her track “Kill Bill” not only competes for Record of the Year but is also a contender for Song of the Year. SZA’s other nominations span across categories like Traditional R&B Performance and Best Melodic Rap Performance.
Close on SZA’s heels are Monét, Bridgers, and producer Serban Ghenea, each bagging seven nominations. Swift, Rodrigo, Eilish, Cyrus, Batiste, Brandy Clark, and Jack Antonoff are not far behind, each securing six nominations.
Boygenius is not just a one-trick pony; they’re in contention for Album of the Year and Best Alternative Music Album, alongside nominations for Best Alternative Music Performance, Best Rock Performance, and Best Rock Song.
Taylor Swift’s Midnights album could set a new record. Nominated for Album of the Year, Swift is on the brink of matching Barbra Streisand’s record for most nominations in this category by a female artist. A win would also crown her as the first four-time winner of Album of the Year. Swift’s nominations extend to Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.
