Grammy: Beyonce leads the race with nine nominations!

Beyonce leads the race of Grammys 2023 with nine nominations. The singer’s haul of recent nominations makes her the most-nominated artist in history, tied with her husband Jay-Z, who have both amassed 88 nominations over the course of their careers.

Her all-genre album ‘Renaissance’ is up for album of the year. Beyonce received additional nominations in the dance/electronica and R&B categories.

Beyonce has won 28 Grammy Awards and if she wins more next year, she could possibly break maestro Georg Solti’s record of 31 wins. He is currently tied with Quincy Jones for second place.

The singer is followed by Kendrick Lamar, who collected eight nominations. It will go up against Beyonce in the album, song and record of the year categories. Other contenders include DJ Khaled and Future.

Her “competitors” for record of the year are Abba, Brandi Carlile, Steve Lacy, Harry Styles, Lizzo, Doja Cat, Mary J Blige and Adele, who collected seven nominations. Carlile tied it with seven.

Adele previously beat out Beyonce for the 2017 Album of the Year Grammy and honored her in her acceptance speech. “I can’t accept this award and I’m very humbled and very grateful and humbled, but my life is Beyonce and the album for me, the ‘Lemonade’ album, was so monumental and so well thought out,” Adele told scene.

Harry Styles, DJ Khaled, Future, The-Dream, Randy Merrill and Mary J Blige each received six. It’s been 16 years since Blige received record and album nominations.

The Best New Artist category, which has previously seen winners including Olivia Rodrigo, Chance the Rapper and Billie Eilish, features Anitta, Domi & JD Beck, Latto, Måneskin, Molly Tuttle, Muni Long, Omar Apollo, Samara Joy, Tobe Nwigwe and Wet Leg.

This year’s awards include new categories such as songwriter of the year (non-classical), best alternative music performance, etc. Last month, Nicki Minaj protested the move of her hit “Super Freaky Girl” from rap to pop categories.

The 65th Grammy Awards will take place on February 5.
