The Weeknd

His music has taken the world by storm, so it's no surprise that he received many nominations for the 2016 Grammys. But what makes him stand out, however, is the fact that not only is this the "Earned It" performer's first Grammys but also that he nabbed seven nods.

Kendrick Lamar

Pop fans might know him as the rapper on Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood," but rap fans have been watching Lamar for quite some time. He has been a staple at the Grammys for the past few years, but this year he appears in 10 different categories for his work and collaborations with other artists.

Alabama Shakes

The Southern band broke onto the Grammys scene in 2012, but hasn't been able to take home the coveted trophy. Nominated in several categories this year, perhaps the Alabama-born group will finally win.
