"I'm glad I'm not up against Twenty One Pilots!" Urie says. "That momentous snowball that will never stop, it's amazing!"
Twenty One Pilots are nominated in five categories, including Record of the Year for "Stressed Out." Over in the Best Rock Album category, Panic! will be up against Blink-182's California, Cage the Elephant's Tell Me I'm Pretty, Weezer's Weezer (White Album) and Gojira's Magma.
"It's just crazy...to be in such company like Blink-182, Cage the Elephant -- they're amazing artists," Urie says. "This is not a throwaway thing, this is so magnanimous to me. It's huge."
The 59th annual Grammy Awards will be held February 12.
