Kemarin sempat diprediksikan kalau nama Adele bakal tercatat di banyak kategori nominasi Piala Grammy tahun ini. Nyatanya, sekarang daftar lengkap nominasi Grammy sudah beredar dan Adele memang meraih enam nominasi. Sayangnya jumlah ini masih di bawah jumlah nominasi yang didapatkan Kanye West tahun ini. Rapper ini meraih 7 nominasi namun sayangnya gagal masuk nominasi Best Album dan Record of The Year.
Billboard menyebutkan kalau Adele dan Bruno Mars sama-sama mendapatkan enam nominasi termasuk Album of The Year, Record of The Year dan Song of The Year. Di saat yang sama, Foo Fighters juga mendapatkan enam nominasi termasuk untuk Album of The Year.
Ada lima nama yang akan berlaga di kategori Album of The Year tahun ini. Mereka adalah Adele (21), Foo Fighters (WASTING LIGHT), Lady Gaga (BORN THIS WAY), Bruno Mars (DOO-WOPS & HOOLIGANS), dan Rihanna (LOUD).
Pada kategori Record Of The Year, Adele kembali muncul lewat track Rolling In The Deep. Kali ini ia harus melawan Bon Iver (Holocene), Bruno Mars (Grenade), Mumford & Sons (The Cave), dan Katy Perry (Firework). Berikut adalah beberapa nama yang berhasil masuk nominasi Grammy Awards tahun ini.
