The Best Music Video category for this year's Grammys features an array of talent and some striking visual clips. These aren't necessarily the best songs of the year, or even the most well-known. These tunes stand out merely because a director was able to pair the melody with meaningful images. No, "Anaconda" did not make the cut. Neither did "Booty." Instead we have videos from Arcade Fire, Sia and Pharrell Williams that concentrate on shots above the belt. -

Grammys 2015 Best Alternative Album Nominees, Who Should & Will Win: Arcade Fire and St. Vincent Make It a Close Call

Harrison on Hardwell "Sally" Lyrics Controversy: 'It Was Our Plan the Whole Time'
The rise of electronic music globally has created a new class of superstar DJs who are able to tour the world, play in front of tens of thousands of people and be the face of multimillion-dollar advertising campaigns. But this has ignored the singers, songwriters and engineers who work tirelessly to create the songs that get radio play, played in clubs and at festivals and charted worldwide.

Grammys 2015 Best Compilation Soundtrack Nominees, Who Should & Will Win: Frozen Takes On Guardians of the Galaxy, American Hustle & More
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy became the highest-grossing superhero film of 2014. That in itself is impressive, but to think that a superhero film would also have an incredible soundtrack? That's not something you see every day. Superhero films are rarely known for their soundtracks -- scores, perhaps, but not soundtracks -- and lot of the film's success came from the fact that it has killer music. -

Grammys 2015 Best Country Duo/Group Performance, Who Should & Will Win: Tight Race Between The Band Perry and Little Big Town
Bringing in featured talent for a country tune has increased in popularity over the past few years. This year's nominees in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance category are split between solid solo acts calling in their buddies and groups that conquered the charts with no assistance.

Then there's the power duo of Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood on "Somethin' Bad." But the two big contenders here are Little Big Town and The Band Perry. -
