The 59th annual Grammy Awards will take place on Feb. 12, 2017 and the nominees are finally in.

Music’s biggest night is gearing up to be Beyoncé‘s biggest night as well. Not only did the star top the nominees list, scoring a leading nine nominations (including Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Record of the Year), but she will also hit the stage during the show. For the second-most nominations, Drake, Rihanna and Kanye West are tied with eight each, while Chance the Rapper, who is up for his first Grammy, scored seven nominations.

The award show made history this time around, as this is the first year the Grammys has considered stream-only releases. Other changes include swapping out LL Cool J for The Late Late Show presenter James Corden as the show’s host.
