FUSE TV - GRAMMY Nominations 2015: A Banner Year for Beyoncé, Sam Smith and More

The Recording Academy did something a little different this year to announce the nominations for the 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Instead of revealing all of the nominees at once, they spaced the announcements out over the course of a suspenseful, exciting Friday.

The fun kicked off on CBS This Morning with a low-key Ed Sheeran and Pharrell Williams reading off four categories. The announcements moved to Twitter for several hours during the day, then completed on the TV concert special A Very GRAMMY Christmas. (Check out our photo gallery of moments from that show.) So now the complete list is finally here. 

Among the big victories of #nomday are six-time nominee Sam Smith and four-time nominees Iggy Azalea, Sia, Pharrell and Usher (twice as lead artist, twice as featured artist). Among the artists who got three nods are Drake, Taylor Swift, Jhené Aiko, Chris Brown and Rick Ross (as a featured artist). Beyoncé also passed Dolly Parton to become the most-nominated female artist of all time. (Read our full story on Beyoncé's accomplishment here.) Now, check out highlights from the big ol' list here:
