Beyoncé Soars to 99 Grammy Nominations, Surpassing Jay-Z
Beyoncé makes history with a record number of Grammy nominations, leading the pack in the 2025 awards.
Beyoncé now holds the title for the most Grammy Award nominations after receiving 11 nods this year for her album "Cowboy Carter," including prestigious categories such as Best Album and Song of the Year.
The latest announcements confirmed a historic shift, with Beyoncé pulling ahead of Jay-Z in the all-time Grammy nominations due to her latest work's acclaim. Notably, this year sees her lead with 11 nominations, a record for any female artist in a single year.
Despite her accolades—32 Grammy wins as a solo artist and three with Destiny's Child—she has never secured the coveted Album of the Year award. Jay-Z recently highlighted this discrepancy, questioning the Grammy voting process while accepting a lifetime achievement award.
This year's nominations also featured artists such as Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, and Charli XCX, each securring seven nominations. The Beatles received recognition for their AI-assisted track "Now And Then," evocating nostalgia with their nomination for record of the year.
Among the top contenders for the Album of the Year title, Taylor Swift stands out. Her latest release, "The Tortured Poets Department," has already received significant praise and a seventh nomination in the category.
Breakout artists Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan join the nominations' landscape, recognized in major categories including Best New Artist and Album of the Year with their respective work.
The nominations highlight a diverse array of artists, but some well-known names like Katy Perry and Dua Lipa missed out this year, stirring discussions about the selection process and representation in the music genre.
With over 20,000 eligible entries this year, the Recording Academy has appointed new voters to enhance inclusion and relevance in its choices amid criticism regarding its past conduct.
The results will culminate at a star-studded ceremony in Los Angeles on February 2, 2025, as voters finalize their decisions ahead of the event.
