Grammy Nominations 2017: Beyoncé and Adele lead the pack

07:53Unknown

The Recording Academy announced the 59th annual Grammy nominees Tuesday, honoring artists like Adele and Beyoncé for their work in the past year.

Meghan Trainor announced the first round of nominees -- in categories for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist -- on CBS This Morning, and the rest of the categories appeared online soon after.
For the 2017 ceremony, eligible albums must have been released between Oct. 1, 2015 and Sept. 30, 2016, which explains why albums like Adele's 25 were eligible for nomination this time around, instead of for the 2016 ceremony.
The 59th annual Grammys will air Sunday, Feb. 12 on CBS.
