Grammy nominations to be announced today
Artists who are chosen to announce the Grammy nominations typically collect a few bids themselves, so rapper Kanye West, country singer Gretchen Wilson, rock balladeers Hoobastank and The Black Eyed Peas can count themselves among the likely contenders this year.
The announcement, set for today at the Music Box Theatre in Hollywood, is also likely to recognise Usher, who had the year’s top album and single, and the late Ray Charles, whose posthumous album, Genius Loves Company, has become the biggest-selling record of his decades-long career.
