Attention is being paid to the recently announced nominations of the 66th Grammy Awards (2024 Grammy)
On November 10 (local time), the Recording Academy revealed its lists of nominees for the 2024 Grammy Awards. Accordingly, female singer SZA leads with nominations in nine categories, followed by various notable female artists such as Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Miley Cyrus.
In particular, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, and Olivia Rodrigo each received nominations in six categories.
In the major categories of Album of the Year and Record of the Year, the sole male nominee was Jon Batiste.
Regarding the large number of female nominees this year, New York Times stated that the Grammy Awards have been criticized for not adequately rewarding female artists in the past, this development is seen as a positive signal of progress in the industry.
Unfortunately, there were no nominations for K-pop artists in this year’s Grammy Awards, despite fans’ high expectations, especially for BTS members Jungkook, Jimin, J-Hope, RM, and V in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category.
AP News mentioned the lack of Kpop representatives, expressing regrets over the fact that despite various K-pop artists having achieved number one on the Billboard 200, they didn’t make the Grammy’s shortlist.
“BTS remains the only Kpop group nominated for the Grammys”, the media site added.
Previously, it was revealed that BTS members submitted entries for Grammy categories such as Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, Best Music Video, Best Pop Vocal Album, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.
BTS was previously nominated for the 63rd, 64th, and 65th Grammy Awards with “Dynamite”, “Butter”, and the collaboration song “My Universe” with Coldplay, thus setting a record by being nominated for three consecutive years.
The 66th Grammy Awards will take place on February 4th at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
