Who made the 2016 Grammy(R) nominees album?

This year’s Grammy Nominees album of course celebrates some of the best music from 2015 but doesn’t hold many surprises. Of course we expected Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor who’ve gained massive ground in the rhythmic sector as well as holding it down in the Pop realm. Kendrick’s Album of the Year nomination for “Alright” shows that lyricism has regained its importance.
