[Beyoncé](http://fortune.com/most-powerful-women/beyonce-51/ "undefined"), who is [rumored to be performing](https://twitter.com/TheBeyHiveTeam/status/790328116564549632 "undefined") at the Los Angeles ceremony, lived up to expectations, with nominations in nine categories including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Record of the Year. Drake and Rihanna are each up for eight awards, and Adele five, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year. Chance the Rapper, whose album, _Coloring Book_, was the first streaming-only album to make the Billboard 200, has seven nominations in five categories. The Grammys has changed its rules to now consider stream-only releases for the 59th awards. Singer [Meghan Trainor](http://time.com/4246204/meghan-trainor-no-interview-new-album/ "undefined"), who took home the Best New Artist award at the star-studded ceremony [held earlier this year](http://time.com/4224932/grammys-2016-winners-list-nominees/ "undefined"), revealed the nominees for Best New Artist, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Album Of The Year live on _CBS This Morning_, shortly before the nominations across all 84 categories were published online. Trainor told the news station that she keeps her Grammy next to her bed and giggles when she looks at it. The 2017 show will be hosted by _The Late Late Show_ presenter James Corden, after five years of Grammys hosting duties by American rapper and actor L. L. Cool J. The British presenter will certainly not be fazed by meeting the music industry’s biggest names; he has harmonized with Adele, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Sir Elton John and Justin Bieber in the Emmy-winning [Carpool Karaoke](http://time.com/4506470/james-corden-carpool-karaoke-all/ "undefined"). At [the 2016 ceremony](http://time.com/4225138/grammys-2016-best-worst-moments/ "undefined"), Kendrick Lamar picked up several trophies including Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song, while Taylor Swift took home her second Album of the Year award for _1989_ alongside prizes for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Music Video for ‘Bad Blood.’ You can find the full list of the nominees from all 84 categories [here](http://www.grammy.com/nominees?utm%5Fmedium=social&utm%5Fsource=twitter&utm%5Fcampaign=g-nominations&utm%5Fcontent=nominees-list "undefined"), and see a selection below: **Record of the Year** ‘Hello’ – Adele ‘Formation’ – Beyoncé ‘7 Years’ – Lukas Graham ‘Work’ – Rhianna featuring Drake ‘Stressed Out’ – Twenty One Pilots **Song of the Year** ‘Formation’ – Khalif Brown, Asheton Hogan, Beyoncé Knowles & Michael L.
