“None of my albums have ever been on any chart. I'm personally deeply proud of this”: Jacob Collier says he’s jazzed to be the only non-charting artist to be twice-nominated for the Grammy Album of the Year

While the majority of the nominees in this year’s Grammy Album of the Year category came from artists who’ve achieved huge commercial success - Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter and eventual winner Beyoncé, for example - Jacob Collier was one of two notable exceptions (the other being André 3000, for his ambient space jazz odyssey New Blue Sun, although he did previously shift plenty of units as part of OutKast).

Collier’s nomination, for Djesse Vol 4, followed his previous Album of the Year nod for 2021’s Djesse Vol 3, and the musician says that he’s proud of the fact that this puts him in a category of one.
