A ripped piece of paper floats in front of EJAE’s face as she giggles with her castmates Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna over a video call. “My manager gave me a list of adjectives to use,” she says over Zoom, unable to stop herself from cackling.
Nuna immediately smirks. “Read them for us,” she shouts. The catalog includes gems like “incredible,” “humble,” “privileged,” and “accomplished,” but all three women immediately lock onto the inclusion of “breathtaking” on this list. “‘Breathtaking’ is good,” Ami laughs.
They’re all accurate words to describe exactly how the three members of the semi-fictional girl group HUNTR/X feel on Friday (Nov. 7), considering that EJAE, Ami and Nuna have just earned four Grammy nominations for their work together on the breakout hit Netflix film KPop Demon Hunters.
Alongside two standard nominations related to music for film — “Golden” earned a nod for best song written for visual media while the movie’s soundtrack notched a nomination for best compilation soundtrack for visual media — HUNTR/X also received two major category nominations, for best pop duo/group performance, and for song of the year, both for “Golden.”
So yes, “breathtaking” feels like a good word to describe the trio’s feelings. “The breaths have been snatched from our bodies,” Nuna says. “Our hearts are being pulled in so many different directions. But above all, I think we’re just very, very, very grateful to be a part of what feels like a very cultural and historic moment, and something that as kids we would have we craved so bad to see. Being a part of it is just really surreal.”
The nominations are just the latest piece of what has been a cultural takeover for KPop Demon Hunters. Not only has the film become Netflix’s most-watched movie in the platform’s history, but the music from the soundtrack — written primarily by EJAE, Mark Sonnenblick and a host of other well-established K-pop songwriters — has dominated the charts. “Golden” spent a whopping eight weeks at the summit of the Hot 100 and remains steady at No. 2 this week. The entirety of the soundtrack, meanwhile, earned two weeks at the top of the Billboard 200, and remains at No. 2 today.
For EJAE, who spent the last decade writing hit songs for K-pop acts like aespa, Twice and others, earning a Grammy nod specifically for her songwriting in the song of the year category is a fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
“It means so much, because I [was asked] in an interview once, ‘What’s a goal that you have?’ And mine was to get an award as a songwriter,” she says. “I don’t see many Asian women or Korean women in this industry, it’s hard to find, songwriter-wise. And so I hope that this can inspire others to keep going, because it felt impossible.”
The group’s nominations don’t only make history as a film-music crossover — they also make history for K-pop as a genre. With their four nominations, HUNTR/X becomes the first K-pop girl group to earn Grammy nominations, and one of two acts (alongside ROSÉ of Blackpink) to earn nominations in the same year, another first for the genre. Previously, only BTS had scored major nominations at the annual ceremony.
That lack of representation in the past is part of why many in the industry have begun asking whether or not K-pop should be represented with its own categories at the annual ceremony. For their part, all three members of HUNTR/X agree that K-pop does deserve to have space created for it at the Grammys. “It’s been proven that this is a genre that can really stand its own in the U.S. space, so it would make sense for this genre to be represented alongside so many other genres that are important to culture,” Nuna says.
With a soundtrack that has dominated music spaces around the globe for the past four months, KPop Demon Hunters has repeatedly defied expectations — which is in no small part why Ami feels particularly proud to be representing her community at the biggest music awards in the world. “As Korean women, from a very young age, we are taught to be quiet, to not be seen,” she says. “That really causes some weird cognitive dissonance early on, as Korean women who we are pursuing the art self expression where we have to be seen. We have to be loud and bold.”
But the singer makes it abundantly clear that while she, EJAE and Nuna remain incredibly grateful for their success, all three of them worked incredibly hard to earn these four nominations. “[KPop Demon Hunters] took nine years to create, there were endless demos, we have a legendary songwriter who has gone through the work of the industry, we have Audrey Nuna out on her own being an independent artist, we have the struggle that comes with being a solo Asian artist in America,” she says, her voice slowly rising. “We’ve had every door shut. We’ve been told, ‘You’re not good enough. You need to do more. You’re too Korean. You’re not American enough.’ So we deserve this. We worked very hard for this, and we are honored to have earned it.”

Bad Bunny continues to expand his winning streak this year. On Friday (Nov. 7), the Puerto Rican superstar not only received six nominations for the 2026 Grammy Awards, but also made history as the first Latin artist to appear in three main categories in the same year: album of the year for Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and song of the year and record of the year for “DTMF.”
This is the second time Benito is competing for the album of the year award, having previously done so in 2023 with Un Verano Sin Ti. Additionally, “DTMF” is only the second Spanish-language track to be nominated for both record of the year and song of the year, following “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee (featuring Justin Bieber). Bad Bunny is also nominated for best música urbana album, best global music performance for “EoO,” and best album cover as the art director for his LP’s artwork.
Also in the main categories, Mexican hitmaker Edgar Barrera received his third nomination for songwriter of the year, non-classical, this time for writing or cowriting hits for artists including Young Miko, Karol G, Carín León, Fuerza Regida, Grupo Frontera, Manuel Turizo, Shakira and Juanes. He is, once again, the only nominee for the award for writing songs in Spanish.
Other Latin artists are sprinkled throughout the categories. For the best global music performance award, in addition to Bad Bunny, Peruvian singer Ciro Hurtado is nominated for “Cantando en el Camino,” and Cuban artist Yeisy Rojas for “Inmigrante y Qué?” Venezuelan conductor Gustavo Dudamel and Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz are once again featured in the classical music categories, while the jazz and Latin jazz sections include Cuban musicians Paquito D’Rivera and Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Mexican Arturo O’Farrill and Puerto Rican Miguel Zenón.
In the Latin music categories — which include pop, urban music, rock or alternative music, Mexican music and tropical music — there are superstars who have been nominated or awarded in the past, such as Gloria Estefan, Fito Páez, Karol G, Rauw Alejandro, Natalia Lafourcade and Alejandro Sanz, among others. It also includes first-time nominees such as Colombian singer Paola Jara and Argentine duo CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso.
Many of the artists who received nominations on Friday will first compete at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards, which will be held Thursday (Nov. 13) in Las Vegas. At this ceremony, Bad Bunny leads with 12 nominations, followed by Edgar Barrera and CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, with 10 each.
Below are the nominees for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in the Latin and Latin Jazz categories. The winners will be announced in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 1, just a few days before the Super Bowl, where Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show.

Kendrick Lamar leads the 2026 Grammy nominations with nine nods, including album, record and song of the year. It’s the third time Lamar has been the leading nominee. He also led the field at the 2016 ceremony with 11 nods and at the 2019 ceremony with eight.
Lamar is followed on this year’s leaderboard by Jack Antonoff, Cirkut and Lady Gaga, with seven nods each; Bad Bunny, Sabrina Carpenter, Serban Ghenea and Leon Thomas, with six each; and Clipse, Doechii, Sounwave, SZA, Turnstile, Tyler, the Creator and Andrew Watt, with five each.
This is the third time Lamar has been nominated for album, record and song of the year in the same year. Bad Bunny, Carpenter and Gaga were also nominated in all three of those categories this year. It’s the second year in a row that Carpenter has managed that sweep, the first time Gaga has done it since 2010, and the first time Bunny has ever done it.
Lamar is the first solo artist from any genre to be nominated for album of the year with five consecutive studio albums. Donald Fagen was nominated with five consecutive studio albums, but that combines solo and Steely Dan projects.
Lamar also becomes the first rapper to receive five album of the year nods as a lead artist. He had been tied with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, with four album of the year nods. Lamar’s nods are for good kid, m.A.A.d. city (2014), To Pimp a Butterfly (2016), DAMN. (2018) and Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (2023). Lamar was also nominated for the Black Panther soundtrack (2019), but not as a lead artist.
Lamar and SZA become the first occasional duet partners to receive two record of the year nods. They were nominated seven years ago for “All the Stars” and are nominated again for “luther.”
Bad Bunny is the first Latin artist to receive Grammy nods for album, record and song of the year in the same year. He is nominated in the album category for the second time with Debí Tirar Más Fotos, after first being nominated three years ago with Un Verano Sin Ti. These are the only all-Spanish-language albums to be nominated in the category. He is also nominated for record and song of the year with “DtMF.” The latter is the second all-Spanish-language song to be nominated for both record and song of the year, following Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” (featuring Justin Bieber).
Bunny is also on track to become the first artist to be an album of the year contender in the same year that he was a Super Bowl halftime headliner since Justin Timberlake achieved both feats in 2004. JT was up for album of the year with his solo debut, Justified, and co-headlined the Super Bowl show with Janet Jackson, P. Diddy, Nelly, Kid Rock and Jessica Simpson. Bunny will be the first sole headliner (not part of a multi-artist show) who was nominated for album of the year in the same year that they headlined the Super Bowl show since U2 in 2002.
This marks the first time that three albums have been nominated for both album of the year and best rap album. Lamar’s album is joined in the finals in both categories by Tyler, the Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA and Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out.
This was the year K-pop finally made its presence felt in the marquee categories. “APT.,” ROSÉ’s hit collab with Bruno Mars, is the first song by a Korean pop artist to receive a record of the year nod. “Golden,” from KPop Demon Hunters, is the first song co-written by a Korean songwriter, EJAE, to receive a song of the year nod. KATSEYE, the “global girl group” nominated for best new artist, includes one member from South Korea, YOONCHAE.
“APT.” is Mars’ seventh hit to receive a record of the year nomination. Billie Eilish received her sixth nod in the category (in just seven years) for “Wildflower”; Lamar his fifth for “luther.” (That makes him the first rap artist with five record of the year nods. He had been tied with Jay-Z with four each.)
Doechii’s “Anxiety” is the first song that samples a previous record of the year winner (“Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye featuring Kimbra) to be nominated for that same award.
Seven of the nominees for record of the year are also nominated for song of the year. The only difference between the two sets of nominees is that Chappell Roan’s “The Subway” is up for record and not song, while “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters is up for song and not record. It’s the first time there was just one difference in the two lists since the 2015 ceremony, when Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” (featuring Charli xcx) was up for record but not song, while Hozier’s “Take Me to Church” was up for song but not record.
Jack Antonoff had both good and bad news in this year’s nominations. He has two nominations in each of three high-profile categories – album, record and song of the year. That brings his career total of song of the year nominations to eight, which puts him in a tie with his frequent collaborator Taylor Swift for the most nods in the history of the category. But he was passed over for a nod for producer of the year, non-classical nod for the second year in a row.
The nominees for producer of the year, non-classical are Dan Auerbach (his fifth), Blake Mills (his third), Dijon (his second) and Cirkut and Sounwave (the first for each).
Amy Allen and Henry Walter also each have two song of the year nominees this year.
Leon Thomas is the only best new artist nominee who is also nominated in another “Big Four” category. His Mutt is vying for album of the year. Alex Warren, thought to be a sure thing for record and song of the year nods, wasn’t nominated in either category.
Three songs from Sinners are competing for best song written for visual media. Only two other films have ever had three or more nominees in this category. Waiting to Exhale had three in 1997; Barbie had four two years ago.
In best traditional country album, there is a rare instance of a parent and child competing in the same category. Willie Nelson, 92, is nominated for Oh What a Beautiful World. His son, Lukas Nelson, 36, is nominated for American Romance.
Barbra Streisand is nominated for best traditional pop vocal album for The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume 2, 62 years after she received her first three nods for The Barbra Streisand Album and its standout track, “Happy Days Are Here Again.” That puts her in a tie with composer John Williams for the longest span of Grammy nominations. Williams received his first nod in 1962 and his three most recent nods in 2024.
Streisand also received her 14th nomination in the category of best traditional pop vocal album – a category she has yet to win. Will this be her year? She’s competing with Laufey, who won in this category two years ago; Lady Gaga, who won twice for collabs with Tony Bennett; Elton John & Brandi Carlile; Jennifer Hudson; and Laila Biali, a Canadian jazz singer and pianist who has worked with Chris Botti and Sting.
The late pianist, composer and bandleader Chick Corea received two nominations, bringing his career total of nods to 77, a total topped by only four people in Grammy history: Beyoncé (99), Jay-Z (89), Paul McCartney (84) and Quincy Jones (80). Corea died in 2021 at age 79.
All of the nominees for songwriter of the year, non-classical, have been nominated in that category previously. This is the third nod for Amy Allen, Edgar Barrera and Jessie Jo Dillon; the second for Tobias Jesso Jr. and Laura Veltz.
As always, best audio book, narration and storytelling recording provided an eclectic batch of nominees. This year’s nominees are The Dalai Lama; Fab Morvan, the surviving member of Milli Vanilli; Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson; comedian (and five-time Grammy host) Trevor Noah; and Kathy Garver, who played the oldest child on the 1960s sitcom Family Affair.
Final-round voting extends from Dec. 12 to Jan. 5. The 68th annual Grammy Awards will be presented at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Feb. 1.

Ninajirachi’s I Love My Computer wins the 21st Australian Music Prize, celebrating the outstanding Australian album of original work for the past year.
The Australian musician’s debut full length album, issued by Nina Las Vegas’ NLV Records, was announced Thursday afternoon as the 2025 AMP champ, as decided by a music industry panel.

With the victory spoils, Ninajirachi (real name: Nina Wilson) collects A$50,000 ($32,000) in prize money, courtesy of headline sponsor Soundmerch.
“Thank you so much to the Australian music prize for awarding me this year, this truly means a lot to me!! I’m so proud to have produced an Australian album,” she comments in a statement. “I Love My Computer drew from my growing up on the central coast and the Australian dance music I heard in my childhood. To sincerely contribute to the awesome story of Australian music was one of my highest hopes. I hope I can keep making albums and telling stories forever.
