The biggest names in music are currently gearing up to fight it out at the upcoming Grammys.

We were pleased to see that a number of HuffPost faves, including Janelle Monáe, Cardi B, Lady Gaga and Childish Gambino, are up for some of the top honours of the night, ahead of the ceremony, which is hosted this year by singer/songwriter Alicia Keys.

And while, there’s not a huge number of British nominees this time around, we were pleaswed to see Dua Lipa and former Brit Awards Critics’ Choice winner Jorja Smith are both up for Best New Artist.

Because the Grammys have roughly 7000 categories, we’ll spare you the extensive list of nominees (you can check the recording academy’s website should you wish to peruse that), but here’s the list of artists and songs nominated for the top prizes at next year’s Grammys, based on which awards were presented live during this year’s ceremony
