WATCH: Taylor Swift leads the way in the prestigious Record of the Year category
TORONTO – Drake and Arcade Fire continued their long runs of Grammy Award recognition on Friday.
Both acts were among the first nominees announced as the Grammys slowly unrolled this year’s slate of contenders.
Toronto’s Drake is in the running for best rap performance for his rousing new anthem “0 to 100/The Catch-Up.”
That’s his 19th career nomination, with the critically lauded rapper having won once, for best rap album in 2013.
Arcade Fire, meanwhile, is once again among the contenders for best alternative music album for their sprawling experiment Reflektor.
The Montreal band has been recognized with two Grammys in the past, including the prestigious album of the year award in 2011 for their chart-topping The Suburbs.
