2015 Grammy Snubs & Surprises

Snub: Drake The rapper had two #1 albums during the year – one on his own and one with Future. Neither received an Album of the Year nom. Though Drake has amassed five #1 albums over the years, he has yet to break into that top category. But Drake’s solo album, If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, was nominated for Best Rap Album. Note: Drake’s late-in-the-year smash “Hotline Bling” wasn’t entered for Record or Song of the Year, so its non-nomination is not a surprise.
Everybody knew that Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, and the Weeknd would dominate the Grammy nominations, but there were still plenty of surprises – and more than a few snubs – in the nominations list. Here are some of Yahoo music’s most notable ones.
