The International outlet informed that all the nominees for the 84 categories will be released via a press release and the Recording Academy’s social media platforms. This year the contenders for Album of the Year include The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, and Fiona Apple.  Although Harry Styles’ highly regarded and still resurgent Fine Line didn’t make the Metacritic upper ranks, it did just get named one of the 500 greatest albums of all time on Rolling Stone’s revised list. Apart from the names mentioned above, singer Lady Gaga who hasn’t gotten a nom in the category since 2011, could be a contender with Chromatica.

Much to the surprise of the fans and the viewers, K pop band BTS has never received a nomination until now, and with the release of their album, Dynamite, things can pretty change for them.
