Grammy Nominations Announced: The 'Despacito' Story Continues

The "Despacito" phenomenon continues with this morning's announcement of the 2018 Grammy nominations. However, while it was the original Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee version that won big at the Latin Grammys, it was the Justin Bieber remix that got nods this morning for record of the year, song of the year and best pop duo/group performance.

While a bit of listener fatigue may have set in with music fans, the nominations for "Despacito" are only the latest industry acknowledgement of a nearly unprecedented cross-cultural moment.

The 60th Grammy Awards will be held at Madison Square Garden in New York on January 28th.
