Adele and Beyonce dominated the nominations list for the 59th Grammy Awards with their names in top categories including album, record, and song of the year.
Adele's Hello from her third studio album, make-up record, 25, and Beyonce's Formation from her sixth studio album, the politically charged visual album Lemonade, ruled the roost.
Kanye West and Drake
The two lead the field of Grammy hopefuls with nine nominations, with Drake, Rihanna and Kanye West each garnering eight nods each.
Meghan Trainor, who won the Best New Artist Grammy award last year, revealed the nominees in four general field categories: Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year.
The awards show, which will be hosted by James Corden, will be held in Los Angeles on February 12.
