Beyoncé Surpasses Jay-Z in Grammy Nominations, Sets New Record
Beyoncé's historic Grammy milestone marks a significant achievement in her illustrious career.
Beyoncé has made headlines by officially becoming the most-nominated artist ever at the Grammy Awards, surpassing her husband, Jay-Z. The iconic couple was previously tied with 88 nominations each, but Beyoncé has taken the lead with her 89th nomination in the Best Pop Solo Performance category for her song "Bodyguard," featured on her latest album, *Cowboy Carter*. The comprehensive lists for the 2025 Grammy Awards are being unveiled as we speak.
The beloved singer already holds the title of the Recording Academy's most decorated artist, boasting 32 wins as a solo musician along with three more as part of Destiny's Child. Despite her accolades, Beyoncé has yet to clinch the coveted Album of the Year award, having been nominated four times without a win. Most recently, Harry Styles took home that esteemed award at the 2023 ceremony, which had many expectations pinned on her disco-infused album, *Renaissance*.
Earlier this year, Jay-Z defended his wife's position while accepting a lifetime achievement award, expressing his frustration regarding her nominations. “I don't want to embarrass this young lady,” he stated, adding, “But she has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year. That doesn’t work.”
With the full nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards set to be announced, Beyoncé is expected to receive her fifth nod for Album of the Year. Other anticipated contenders for this prestigious prize include Taylor Swift for *The Tortured Poets Department*, Billie Eilish for *Hit Me Hard And Soft*, and Chappell Roan for *The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess*.
The nominations across all 94 categories will be disclosed during a livestream on the ceremony’s YouTube channel, where notable figures like Kylie Minogue, Mark Ronson, and Victoria Monét will contribute to the broadcast.
British artist Raye is also in contention for multiple nominations, notably Songwriter of the Year and Best New Artist, while the legendary Rolling Stones have received a nod for Best Rock Album with their latest project, *Hackney Diamonds*, their first new album of original material since 2016. This report will be updated as the nomination announcements progress.
