Beyoncé Surpasses Jay-Z in All-Time Grammy Nominations
Beyoncé's historic Grammy nomination puts her ahead of Jay-Z in the race for the most accolades.
Beyoncé has made Grammy history by becoming the most-nominated artist ever at the Grammy Awards, eclipsing her husband Jay-Z. The iconic couple was previously tied at 88 nominations each, but Beyoncé's recognition for her latest album, Cowboy Carter, has catapulted her to 89 nominations, earning her a spot in the best pop solo performance category for the track Bodyguard.
This stellar achievement comes as she shines as the Recording Academy’s most-awarded artist, holding a staggering 32 wins as a solo performer alongside three more with Destiny’s Child. Yet, despite her monumental success, Beyoncé has faced criticism for never winning the prestigious Album of the Year award, even after four nominations. Most notably, Harry Styles took home that title at the 2023 ceremony, leaving Beyoncé’s anticipated victory with her disco marvel Renaissance unfulfilled.
Earlier in the year, Jay-Z passionately defended Beyoncé’s unrecognized achievements during his acceptance speech for a lifetime achievement award, highlighting the stark discrepancy between her numerous wins and her missing accolade in the Album of the Year category.
Expectations loom for her to secure a fifth nomination in this coveted category, with the full list of nominees for the 2025 Grammys set to be unveiled soon. Contenders alongside her may include Taylor Swift for her album The Tortured Poets Department, Billie Eilish's Hit Me Hard And Soft, and Chappell Roan's The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess.
The Grammy nominations will be announced via a livestream on the ceremony's YouTube Channel, with notable figures like Kylie Minogue, Mark Ronson, and Victoria Monét presenting. Early mentions also spotlight British artist Raye, nominated for songwriter of the year and best new artist, as well as The Rolling Stones for their latest album Hackney Diamonds, marking their first album of original work since 2016.
Stay tuned for continued updates as the Grammy shortlist takes shape.
