On the morning of November 10, The Recording Academy unveiled the complete roster of nominations for the 2024 Grammys, scheduled for February 4, 2024, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The eligibility period spanned from October 1, 2022, to September 15, 2023, setting the stage for a highly anticipated event broadcast live on CBS.
Despite Dua Lipa‘s recently released single “Houdini” missing the eligibility window, the artist secured nominations for Song of the Year and Best Song Written for Visual Media with “Dance The Night,” a track from the Barbie movie. However, SZA emerged as the frontrunner with an impressive nine nominations.
SZA made waves with the release of SOS on December 9, 2022. The sophomore album not only claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for 10 consecutive weeks but also marked a significant moment for SZA, debuting on Billboard’s Hot 100 Songwriters chart.
