Grants season is going to start and music’s greatest night will be here before you know it. On Tuesday morning, the Recording Academy declared the chosen people for the 59th yearly Grammy Awards.
A year ago’s Best New Artist, Meghan Trainor, took care of business by uncovering the general field grants on “CBS This Morning,” and more assignments were declared for the duration of the day.
Beyoncé leads with nine selections, while Drake and Rihanna take after not far behind with eight each. In the interim, Chance the Rapper is designated for seven honors and Adele earned herself five noms.
