“#Grammys 2021: The Weeknd and Bob Dylan Surprisingly Absent From Nominations<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

During today\u2019s 2021 Grammy nominations, there were two artists who were surprisingly missing from contention: Bob Dylan\u00a0nor\u00a0the Weeknd. The Weeknd\u2019s\u00a0smash hit<\/a>\u00a0\u201cBlinding Lights\u201d was eligible for nomination, as was his chart-topping<\/a> album\u00a0After Hours<\/em>. Bob Dylan\u2019s remarkable\u00a0Rough and Rowdy Ways<\/em>\u00a0was also released during the eligibility period (September 1, 2019\u2014August 31, 2020), with its first single \u201cMurder Most Foul\u201d reaching No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Rock Digital Song Sales chart. Since the Grammy nominations require that an artist submit their work for consideration each year, it\u2019s unclear whether either artist did so. For example, Frank Ocean, Drake, Cardi B, and Macklemore have all chosen to withhold music from Grammy consideration in recent years.<\/p>\n

When asked about the Weeknd\u2019s shutout in an interview with Jem Aswad for Variety<\/em><\/a>, Recording Academy Chair and Interim President\/CEO Harvey Mason jr. said, \u201cY\u2019know, it really just comes down to the voting body that decides.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for the Weeknd, Bob Dylan, and the Recording Academy for comment and more information.<\/p>\n

The Weeknd\u2019s previous album, Starboy<\/em>, won the 2018 Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album. He\u2019s been nominated for 10 Grammys in his career, winning three awards.<\/p>\n

Bob Dylan has won 10 Grammy Awards and received 38 Grammy nominations. He was first nominated for the 1963 Grammy Award for Best Folk Recording for Bob Dylan<\/em>. A decade later, he won his first Grammy for his work on The Concert for Bangladesh<\/em>, which won Album of the Year.<\/p>\n

Dylan was last nominated for the 2018 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album for Trip<\/a>licate<\/em>. He most recently won Grammy Awards in 2007 for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance (\u201cSomeday Baby\u201d) and Best Contemporary Folk\/Americana Album (Modern Times<\/em>).<\/p>\n
