Nominations for the 2022 Grammys — officially the 64th annual Grammy Awards — have arrived!

The headlines: Jon Batiste leads all nominees with 11, followed by Justin Bieber, Doja Cat and H.E.R. with eight, and Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo with seven. The major categories have expanded to 10 nominees each, and this is the first ballot compiled (mostly) without the anonymous expert committees that have drawn criticism over the past few years.

The ceremony will be held on Jan. 31, 2022, at the Crypto.com Arena (formerly the Staples Center) in Los Angeles.
