The nominations for the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards are out and Houston’s own Lizzo leads the pack with 8 noms, including Song, Record and Album of the Year for Cuz I Love You.

Lil Nas X‘s “Old Town Road” was easily the biggest song of 2019 and his success could translate to an even bigger night in January. The Atlanta hitmaker is up for six awards including Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist. Newcomer Billie Eilish joins him as she’s nominated in all Big 4 categories from Album of the Year to Best New Artist.
