As the countdown to Jan. 26's Grammy Awards continues, it was announced Tuesday that, as usual, an album featuring a bunch of this year's nominated tunes will be made available.
2014 Grammy Nominees, due Jan. 21, will spotlight the artists and songs in the record of the year, album of the year, song of the year, best new artist, best pop solo performance and best country album categories. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Recording Academy's charities the Grammy Foundation and MusiCares Foundation.
