Rapper Kanye West led the pack in nominations for the 54th Grammy Awards, which were announced during a special televised ceremony Wednesday night. WWest racked up a total of seven nominations, though his "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" album failed to earn a nod for Album of the Year and his hit song "All of the Lights" wasn't recognized in the Record of the Year category.
Trailing West in nominations were Adele, Bruno Mars and the Foo Fighters, with each picking up a total of six nods, including nominations for the coveted Album of the Year Award, in which Lady Gaga and Rihanna were also nominated. Winners for all categories will be announced February 12th at the 54th Grammy Awards ceremony at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Nominees for Album, Record and Song of the year are listed below.
