Beyonce has become the most-nominated artist in the history of the Grammy Awards

IOL

US singer Beyonce is officially the most-nominated artist in the history of the Grammy Awards.

The 43-year-old star has actually overtaken Jay-Z, her husband, after receiving 11 nominations for the latest awards.

The celebrity duo – who have been married since 2008 – were previously tied on 88 nominations each, but Beyonce has now managed to pull clear of her husband, as she received the most nominations for the upcoming awards show.

Beyonce is among the nominees in the Best Album and Best Country Album categories for ‘Cowboy Carter’ – the country-inspired record that she released earlier this year – while ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ has been nominated for the Song of the Year accolade.

Beyonce has never won the Album Of The Year prize, despite being nominated in the category on four previous occasions. And earlier this year, Jay-Z actually slammed the Grammys for overlooking Beyonce for the top award.

The rap star said: “I don’t want to embarrass this young lady. But she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album Of The Year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about that. The most Grammys; never won Album Of The Year. That doesn’t work.”

Beyonce will face competition for the coveted award from Andre 3000, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Jacob Collier, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Taylor Swift.

Taylor’s nomination in the Album category means she’s overtaken Barbra Streisand to claim the all-time record. The 34-year-old star – who released ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ in April – has now been nominated for the prestigious gong six times.

Elsewhere, Charli, Billie, Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone have all received seven nominations each.

Charli – who released her ‘Brat’ album in June – has been nominated for Record Of The Year, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Pop Duo.

Taylor, Sabrina and Chappell all have six nominations each, with the latter two earning nods in the so-called big four categories – Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year, and Best New Artist.

Sabrina, 25, has enjoyed a breakout year with her recently-released ‘Short n’ Sweet’ album, while Chappell has had a meteoric rise since releasing ‘The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess’ in 2023.

Meanwhile, The Beatles are among the contenders for Record Of The Year with ‘Now And Then’. The single was released in November 2023, after John Lennon wrote the first bars back in 1978.

The Grammy Awards will be held on February 2, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
