Lamar – who has won wide critical acclaim for his politically charged latest album To Pimp a Butterfly – earned 11 nominations for the music industry’s biggest awards, which will be announced at a February 15 gala in Los Angeles.

Swift and The Weeknd, the rising Canadian R&B star, followed Lamar with 7 nominations each.

But Swift was ahead in the four most-watched categories, with nominations in all of them except Best New Artist.

She enjoyed nods for Album of the Year for her blockbuster 1989 and Record of the Year as well as Song of the Year, which recognizes songwriting, for her hit “Blank Space.”

Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly was also up for Album of the Year, as well as The Weeknd’s Beauty Behind the Madness.

English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran’s viral ballad “Thinking Out Loud” was also nominated for both Record of the Year and Song of the Year. – Rappler.com
