And right from the jump, it looks like Beyonce, Sam Smith and Pharrell Williams will likely be the three names mentioned quite frequently.
Sam Smith, who had a phenomenal year with his tender ballad ‘Stay With Me,’ grabbed nods in music categories for Best Solo Pop Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album (for ‘In the Lonely Hour’) and Record of the Year for the Darkchild (Rodney Jerkins)-produced version of ‘Stay With Me.’
Beyonce’s self-titled album garnered a mention in the Best Urban Contemporary Album field along with Jhene Aiko’s ‘Sail Out,’ Chris Brown’s ‘X,’ Mali Music’s ‘Mali Is’ and Pharrell Williams’ ‘G I R L.’
Speaking of Pharrell, who was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the producer also nabbed a nomination for Best Solo Pop Performance for ‘Happy.’
“We don’t want to like, geek out in front of everybody. This is national TV,” he said during the announcement on ‘CBS This Morning.’
Elsewhere, Iggy Azalea received a Record of the Year nomination for ‘Fancy’ with Charli XCX.
Nominations will be doled out throughout the day to stay locked to the Boombox for more info.
The 2015 Grammy Awards will air live from Los Angeles on CBS at 9PM ET on Feb. 8.
