The nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards have been announced. Under the Radar favorites Alvvays, boygenius, PJ Harvey, Paramore, Arctic Monkeys, Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo, Janelle Monáe, Gorillaz, James Blake, and others are all up for awards. For Album of the Year, boygenius, Rodrigo, and Del Rey will be battling it out with Taylor Swift, Jon Batiste, Miley Cyrus, and SZA. Arctic Monkeys, boygenius, Gorillaz, Del Rey, and Harvy are all up for Best Alternative Album, whereas Alvvays’ “Belinda Says” is nominated for Best Alternative Performance alongside boygenius’ “Cool About It” and songs by Arctic Monkeys, Del Rey, and Paramore. Check out all the main nominations below.

As usual we will point out that the Grammy’s remain somewhat out of touch in regards to some of the nomination choices, but it’s nice to see boygenius get so many nominations (six in total) and an artist like Alvvays get recognized.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards will air February 4, 2024 live on CBS. Check out the full nominations list here.
