Beyonce landed nine nominations for the highest
honors in music. That brought her career total to 88, tying her
with husband Jay-Z as the most nominated artist in Grammy
history.
Her dance-heavy album "Renaissance" will compete for album of
the year with Adele's "30," "Harry's House" from Harry Styles,
"Special" from Lizzo, and entries from ABBA, Bad Bunny, Mary J.
Blige, Brandi Carlile and Coldplay.
Rapper Kendrick Lamar, also in the running for album of the year
for "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers," received eight nominations
overall, followed by British singer Adele and singer-songwriter
Carlile with seven each.
The nominations again put Beyonce in competition with Adele, who
won album of the year in 2017. Adele said at the time she
thought that award should have gone to Beyonce's "Lemonade."
Beyonce has never won the album award, even though she boasts
the most Grammy wins of any female artist with 28.
Classical conductor Georg Solti, who has 31 Grammy trophies,
holds the record for most wins overall.
At the awards ceremony in February, Beyonce's single "Break My
Soul" will compete for record and song of the year against
Adele's "Easy on Me."
Taylor Swift's 10-minute version of her 2012 song "All Too Well"
also landed a nod for best song. Swift's latest album,
"Midnights," was released after this year's eligibility window,
which ran from October 2021 through September 2022.
In the best new artist category, contenders include Italian rock
band Maneskin, Brazilian singer Anitta and American
singer-songwriter Molly Tuttle.
The Grammys will be handed out at a ceremony in downtown Los
Angeles on Feb. 5. Winners will be chosen by the nearly 13,000
musicians, producers and songwriters who belong to the Recording
Academy.
The awards will be broadcast live on U.S. broadcast network CBS
and streamed on Paramount+.
