On Friday (December 20), the Recording Academy awarded Charli XCX and Post Malone with additional nominations at the 2025 Grammy Awards. Charli and Posty were both given Best Recording Package nominations in recognition of their art direction contributions to their respective albums, Brat and F-1 Trillion. Both albums had already been nominated in the category, but neither artist were included among the original nominees list when the Grammys were first announced. Charli and Malone will be up against Kate Bush in the category, with the English icon receiving her first Grammy nomination in nearly 30 years for serving as art director on Hounds of Love the Baskerville Edition. The additional nod increases Charli’s 2025 Grammy nominations to eight, including Album of the Year for Brat and Record of the Year for “360.” Malone’s total Grammy count jumps to seven, including Best Country Album for F-1 Trillion and Song of the Year for his Taylor Swift collaboration, “Fortnight.” (Rolling Stone)
