Did you know that Adele has a dachshund she named Louie after he started howling to a Louie Armstrong song? Or that it’s rumored Lady Gaga will be performing both the opening and closing songs at the 54th Grammys? Or that Alexandre Desplat is up for a Grammy for his Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 score?

Pretty cool stuff, right? We definitely think so, and it’s all information that Wikia’s music communities have been busy chronicling. So to make sure YOU know all about the amazing efforts of our rapidly growing music wikis, we’re hosting a Countdown to Music’s Biggest Night.

Starting this Wednesday, February 1st on the Music Wiki, we’re counting down the 12 remaining days to the Grammys in many ways. Each day we'll be bringing you news and interviews from Wikia’s Music Communities and we’ll be hosting our first ever Grammy Pool where you can vote on your picks in top categories for Best Album, Best Song, Best Artist, etc. Whoever gets the most correct predictions wins our grand prize!

And to make sure we can all share Grammy predictions with each other (only AFTER the ballot page has closed, of course), we’ll be hosting a LIVE CHAT (a.k.a. Grammy Gabfest) during the telecast so we can all be part of Music’s Biggest Night in real time, together.

So stop by to view the daily calendar where we’ll bring you everything Grammys. By the way, did you know that Bruno Mars, whose hit song “It Will Rain” featured on the Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1 soundtrack, received 6 Grammy nods this year?

So come and join the fun right now on the Music Wiki!

  • Erm, a self awarding party of the music industry moguls? Really? I think they have made enough enemies to be completely ignored? Hence, in the Netherlands on behalf of those moguls websites are taken down. You got to be kidding me that we should be happy with those parties. Better promote the individual singer/ songwriter who can do it by themselves.

    • Stop trolling please. If you have so much evil take a wikibreak and return a year later.

    • Excuse me? This is a serious comment. The grammy awards are rewarded by the music industry to the music industry, only to promote the music industry. Since it is not really benefiting the actual singer/ songwriters without a major budget/ large label backing them up, i think it should be ignored completely, unless you love to see people congratulating themselves.

    • You had problems just like I did a year ago. I'm serious. Take a WikiHiatus.

  • Awesome, thanks Peter!

  • I am excited to see that Bon Iver got quite a few nominations. Anyone like Bon Iver or excited for any of the other nominees?

    • Bon Iver are good, have checked out their self-titled album and liked it.

      My problem with these awards is they never really represent the music I like listening to (or they do a token gesture) that touch on only bands that have massive appeal, and do nothing to support the good music that mainstream music fans aren't familiar with.

      So yeah, go Bon Iver.

    • I have to agree with RT here. The Grammy's is not really representative of the music I listen to. Sure, Muse, my favorite band got a nomination a few years ago but really great bands like Rise Against, Breaking Benjamin or many others get completely overlooked just because that is not mainstream music. Plus I will never forgive the grammy's for giving the first ever Metal Grammy to Jethro Tull over Metallica.

    • Haven't really heard his music

    • I've never listened to Bon Iver, but I want to! I have to say, my favorite nominee who deserves every award she's nominated for is Adele. I love her. Actually, that thing about Adele and her little daschund Louie was taken from my wiki -- http://adele.wikia.com

      I can't wait to see Adele perform AND win every Grammy she's up for. ;)
