The Recording Academy has announced nominees for the 60th Grammy Awards with Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z dominating a male-heavy list of nominees.

Jay-Z leads with eight nominations including for Album, Song and Record of the Year.

Kendrick follows closely with seven nominations, while Ed Sheeran, despite being one of the hottest predictions for Album of the Year, was only nominated in two categories: Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Vocal Performance ("Shape of You"). Sheeran released his third album ÷ [Divide] in March and broke several music industry records for sales and streaming.

Lorde received a nomination for Album of the Year for her record Melodrama, competing with Kendrick, Jay-Z, Childish Gambino and Bruno Mars.

Taylor Swift appeared to be snubbed for her song "Look What You Made Me Do", but did receive a nod alongside Zayn Malik for "I Don't Wanna Live Forever", which featured in the film Fifty Shades of Grey. "Better Man", the song she penned for Little Big Town, also received a nomination for Best Country Song.

Artists reacted to the nominations on social media, with one of 2017's biggest new artists Khalid tweeting his delight at receiving five nominations. He noted how three years ago he had written about wanting to go to the Grammys in the future.
