LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) – Jon Batiste, a jazz musician, led the nominations for Tuesday’s Grammy Awards, with 11 nods. Justin Bieber and Doja Cat followed with eight each.

According to organizers, Bieber, Batiste, and Dojacat will vie for the Album of the Year prize. They’ll be joined by Kanye West and Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga and Olivia Rodrigo, as well as Billie Eilish and Doja Cat.

On January 31, the Grammys will be presented in Los Angeles.

For the first time, the number of nominations for the Top Three Categories – Album, Song and Record of the Year – was raised to 10 from 8.

Harvey Mason Jr, Recording Academy’s chief executive, stated that adding more nominations was a way of casting a wider net to more music, artists, and more genres. He announced the changes on Tuesday.

Eilish was also nominated for record of year along with Rodrigo and Batiste from Sweden.

Swift was not able to win the best album nomination for “Evermore” and the song of the Year races.

Rodrigo is a teen sensation. She rose to fame in January with her hit single “Drivers License”. Seven nominations were given, including one for best new artist.
