Two of the biggest music stories of the year have been Adele and Beyonce. Adele won Album of the Year in 2011 for her blockbuster sophomore album “21” and followed it up last November with another chart-topper, “25,” which also spawned the number-one hit “Hello,” which could be a contender for Record and Song of the Year. Meanwhile, Beyonce is still pursuing her first Grammy win for Album of the Year even though she has amassed a remarkable 20 Grammys in other categories. “Lemonade” is her most acclaimed effort yet and its lead single “Formation” could also be her first winner for Record of the Year.

But there’s more to this competition than Beyonce and Adele. There’s also sentimental favorite David Bowie, whose “Blackstar” was released in January just two days before his death. Chart-topper Drake could enter the race for the first time with “Views,” and Radiohead could get their fourth bid with “A Moon Shaped Pool.” And let’s not forget other Grammy-winning stars like Frank Ocean (“Blonde”), Bon Iver (“22, A Million”), Paul Simon (“Stranger to Stranger”), Kanye West (“The Life of Pablo”), Bonnie Raitt (“Dig in Deep”) and many more.
