The 2017 Grammy Award nominations were announced this morning and, as expected, it's looking like it'll come down to Beyonce vs. Adele in many of the top categories.

Also notable? Justin Bieber came in strong. After a win last year for Best Dance Recording for "Where Are U Now" the young pop star's transformation away from just a teen idol is complete, with huge noms for Song and Album of the Year.

Here's how the 2017 Grammy nominations shook out.
