In a remarkable career achievement, Beyoncé has secured her 89th Grammy nomination, setting her apart as the reigning queen of Grammy nods, surpassing her husband Jay-Z. This monumental recognition is for her latest album, Cowboy Carter, particularly for the song Bodyguard in the Best Pop Solo Performance category. Until now, both artists were tied with an impressive 88 nominations each, but this latest acknowledgment has put Beyoncé firmly in the lead.
Beyoncé Surpasses Jay-Z with Historic Grammy Nominations
Beyoncé Surpasses Jay-Z with Historic Grammy Nominations
Beyoncé has become the most-nominated artist in Grammy history, breaking a tie with Jay-Z as she continues to dominate the awards scene.
Beyoncé is not just the most-nominated artist, she also holds the record for the most wins, having claimed 32 Grammys as a solo artist and 3 more with Destiny’s Child. Despite this trailblazing success, she has never grabbed the coveted Album of the Year award, having been nominated four times. Her latest potential nod for this prestigious title comes hot on the heels of her critically acclaimed album, Renaissance, which was a favorite at the 2023 ceremony, only to be edged out by Harry Styles.
In a recent Grammy Awards acceptance speech, Jay-Z voiced his frustrations about his wife’s historical lack of recognition in the Album of the Year category, highlighting the incongruity between her Grammy wins and her standing in one of the most prestigious categories. He remarked, "She has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year," querying the logic behind such a disparity.
Beyoncé's strong competition for the upcoming awards includes Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department, Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard And Soft, and Chappell Roan with The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess.
As excitement builds for the full nomination reveal scheduled on the Grammy’s YouTube Channel, British artist Raye has already earned nominations for Songwriter of the Year and Best New Artist. The iconic Rolling Stones are also in contention for Best Rock Album with their new release Hackney Diamonds, marking their return with original content since 2016. The story continues to unfold as nominations across all 94 categories are anticipated to be announced live, paving the way for another captivating Grammy Awards season.
