Rapper-producer Kanye West led the 2012 Grammy nominations with nods in seven categories, while Adele, Foo Fighters and Bruno Mars came in a close second with six nominations each.
Though West earned the most nominations of any artist, he was not included in the prestigious album of the year category, as were Adele and Lady Gaga. Lil Wayne and Los Angeles' own Skrillex are up for five awards each, including rap album and new artist, respectively, while Taylor Swift received only three nominations. The eclectic Bon Iver turned up with an impressive – and unexpected – four nominations in top-ranking categories.
The nominations were announced during a live concert Wednesday night at the Nokia Theatre in downtown L.A. Winners will be announced Feb. 12 at Staples Center.
