Beyoncé leads Grammy nominations with 9

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter isn’t just a celebrated Grammy Awards winner — she’s now a serial Grammy. record-breaker. She led among nominees with nine nods for her album Renaissance. Kendrick Lamar scored eight nominations, while Adele and Brandi Carlile each got seven.

By adding nine more nominations to her Grammy resumé, she now has 88 in total — tying her husband, Jay-Z, as the most-nominated artist of all time.

Somebody’s getting Cuffed Tonight!

With 28 Grammy wins to date, Beyoncé became the performing artist with the most career wins ever in 2021 and joined a rarified circle with producer Quincy Jones, who also has 28 wins, and the late classical conductor Georg Solti, who won 31 GRAMMYs for his recorded work.

If Bey wins at least four Grammys, when the awards are held on February 5 in LA next year, she will become the artist with the most wins in history. She already has more nominations than any woman in Grammy history.

Or herstory.

In 2021, husband Jay-Z set the record as the artist with the most Grammy nominations ever at the time with 83. MR. Carter adds five Grammy nominations this year, bringing his total nominations to 88.

The power couple has been nominated together 17 times, including two in 2023 for their work on Beyoncé’s Renaissance; they’ve won five GRAMMYs together over the years.
