The nominees for the 2020 Grammy Awards, the biggest awards ceremony in the American music industry, were revealed this Wednesday, the 20th.
On Tuesday, a faulty update on the awards website already gave a possible indication of which artists would be nominated. The list is full of incredible new names in world music, but what interests us here is rock and roll.
