According to MTV.com, “Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, Eminem, Drake, the Kings of Leon and Green Day were just some of the artists who landed early Grammy nods Wednesday night.” The full list of Grammy nominees is posted on the 52nd Annual Awards’ official site.

MTV also reported that Beyoncé, Gaga and Swift lead the nominees with each landing “nominations for Album, Record and Song of the Year.

Beyoncé nabbed the most noms with 10, followed by Swift with eight; BEP, Maxwell and Kanye West with six; and David Guetta, Jay-Z and Lada Gaga with five.”
