Beyoncé Breaks Grammy Record, Surpassing Jay-Z in Nominations
Beyoncé has achieved a groundbreaking milestone at the Grammy Awards, now leading in all-time nominations after receiving her 89th nod.
Beyoncé has made significant waves in the music industry by becoming the most-nominated artist in Grammy Awards history, overtaking her husband Jay-Z in the process. The couple was tied with 88 nominations each until Beyoncé added to her tally, thanks to her latest work, "Cowboy Carter." Her 89th nomination comes in the best pop solo performance category for the hit song "Bodyguard," as the 2025 Grammy nominations unveil.
This achievement reinforces Beyoncé’s status not only as a cultural icon but also as the Recording Academy's most decorated artist, boasting 32 Grammy wins as a solo artist alongside three additional wins with Destiny's Child. Interestingly, despite her numerous accolades, Beyoncé has yet to clinch the prestigious album of the year award, having been nominated four times without a win. The last time she lost out to this title was at the 2023 Grammys, where Harry Styles took home the award for his album.
Earlier this year, Jay-Z publicly expressed frustration regarding the Grammy voters’ choices, particularly highlighting Beyoncé’s impressive Grammy count without having secured the album of the year honor. He remarked during a lifetime achievement award speech, "I don't want to embarrass this young lady... The most Grammys; never won album of the year. That doesn't work."
With the announcement of the 2025 Grammy nominations, there is widespread anticipation that Beyoncé may finally receive her fifth nomination in the album of the year category. Other contenders expected to vie for this top honor include Taylor Swift for "The Tortured Poets Department," Billie Eilish for "Hit Me Hard And Soft," and Chappell Roan for "The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess."
The nominations across 94 categories are being revealed in a livestream event, featuring notable artists such as Kylie Minogue, Mark Ronson, and Victoria Monét. British singer Raye has also garnered recognition with multiple early nominations, including songwriter of the year and best new artist. Moreover, legendary band The Rolling Stones has received a nod for best rock album for their latest project, "Hackney Diamonds," marking their first original material release since 2016.
As the nomination landscape continues to evolve, fans eagerly await updates on the upcoming Grammy Awards.
