Additionally, music producer/songwriter Max Martin receives six nominations and mastering engineer Tom Coyne, rapper Drake, and engineers/mixers Serban Ghenea and John Hanes each earn five nominations.

We are looking forward to airing yet another edition of Grammy Awards on Vh1,” said Ferzad Palia, EVP Viacom18 and Head, English and Youth Entertainment.
The eclectic nature of this year's nominations is perhaps best exemplified in the Album of the Year category, where nominees range from the alternative and soulful rock of Alabama Shakes to Lamar's thought-provoking jazz-infused rap, the classic country sounds of Chris Stapleton, the pop emergence of Swift, and the genre-bending R&B style of The Weeknd.
