The full nomination list for the 58th annual Grammy Awards arrived on Monday morning (Dec 7) and this year the list is very diverse and features some of our faves including Kendrick Lamar who is leading the pack in many categories including the big one.

The highly underrated rapper snagged a total of 11 nods, followed by The Weeknd and Taylor Swift, who each earn seven. Additionally, Drake picks up five nominations.

He becomes the second most nominated artist in a year, only trailing King of Pop Michael Jackson who holds the title of 12 nominations in one year. Kendrick also earns the most nominations for a rapper in a single year, beating Eminem’s previous record of 10 at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.
