Welcome to Beyonc茅 country.

When it comes to the 2025 Grammy Award nominations, 香蕉视频直播淐owboy Carter香蕉视频直播� rules the nation. She leads the nods with 11, bringing her career total to 99 nominations. That makes her the most nominated artist in Grammy history.

香蕉视频直播淐owboy Carter香蕉视频直播� is up for album and country album of the year, and 香蕉视频直播淭exas Hold 香蕉视频直播橢m香蕉视频直播� is nominated for record, song and country song of the year. She also received nominations in a wide swath of genres, including pop, country, Americana and melodic rap performance categories.

This is her first time receiving nominations in the country and Americana categories. Previously, she and her husband Jay-Z were tied for most career nominations, at 88.

If Beyonc茅 wins the album of the year, she香蕉视频直播檒l become the first Black woman to do so in the 21st century. Lauryn Hill last won in 1999 for 香蕉视频直播淭he Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,香蕉视频直播� joining Natalie Cole and Whitney Houston as the only Black women to take home the Grammys香蕉视频直播� top prize.

Post Malone also received his first ever nominations in the country categories this year, having released his debut country album 香蕉视频直播淔-1 Trillion香蕉视频直播� in August. That one is up for country album and 香蕉视频直播淚 Had Some Help,香蕉视频直播� his collaboration with Morgan Wallen, is nominated for country song and country duo/group performance. They are Wallen香蕉视频直播檚 first ever Grammy nominations.

Malone is just behind Beyonc茅, with seven nominations, tied with Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Charli XCX, who earned her first nominations as a solo artist.

Lamar香蕉视频直播檚 ubiquitous diss track released during his feud with Drake, 香蕉视频直播淣ot Like Us,香蕉视频直播� is nominated for record and song of the year, rap song, music video as well as best rap performance. He has two simultaneous entries in the latter category, a career first: Future & Metro Boomin featuring Lamar, 香蕉视频直播淟ike That香蕉视频直播� is up for best rap performance and best rap song.

This is his third time receiving two simultaneous nominations for best rap song.

Taylor Swift and first-time nominees Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan boast of six nominations each.

Last year, women artists dominated the major categories. This year, that continues somewhat, but the main trend seems to be a variance of genre. In the album of the year category, alongside 香蕉视频直播淐owboy Carter香蕉视频直播� is Andr茅 3000香蕉视频直播檚 new age, alt-jazz 香蕉视频直播淣ew Blue Sun香蕉视频直播� and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Collier香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淒jesse Vol. 4.香蕉视频直播� Rising pop stars Carpenter and Roan round it out, with 香蕉视频直播淪hort n香蕉视频直播� Sweet香蕉视频直播� and 香蕉视频直播淭he Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess香蕉视频直播� respectively, as well as Swift香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淭he Tortured Poets Department,香蕉视频直播� Eilish香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淗it Me Hard and Soft,香蕉视频直播� and Charli XCX香蕉视频直播檚 rave-ready 香蕉视频直播淏RAT.香蕉视频直播�

Eilish is the only artist to have her first three albums become nominated for album of the year.

Last year, Swift won album of the year for 香蕉视频直播淢idnights,香蕉视频直播� breaking the record for most wins in the category with four. This year, she becomes the first ever woman to seven career nominations in the category.

香蕉视频直播淭he breadth and the variety of genres represented in the general field feels new and really exciting,香蕉视频直播� says the Recording Academy CEO and President Harvey Mason jr. He credits an active and evolving voting body for its success. 香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檝e been very intentional in how we looked at and tried to rebalance our membership. So not just gender or people of color, different racial makeup, but also genre equity and trying to make sure that all different types of music in different regions and different locations are being represented in every way possible.香蕉视频直播�

Only recordings commercially released in the U.S. between Sept. 16, 2023 through Aug. 30, 2024 were eligible for nominations. The final round of Grammy voting, which determines its winners, will take place Dec. 12 through January 3.

In the best new artist category, Carpenter and Roan will go head-to-head, alongside Benson Boone, Doechii, Khruangbin, RAYE, Shaboozey and Teddy Swims.

In the song of the year category, Beyonc茅 is joined by Eilish with 香蕉视频直播淏irds of a Feather,香蕉视频直播� Swift and Post Malone with 香蕉视频直播淔ortnight,香蕉视频直播� Roan香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淕ood Luck, Babe!香蕉视频直播�, Carpenter香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淧lease Please Please,香蕉视频直播� Lamar香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淣ot Like Us,香蕉视频直播� Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播淒ie With A Smile,香蕉视频直播� and Shaboozey香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淎 Bar Song (Tipsy).香蕉视频直播�

Shaboozey is also a first-time nominee. His 香蕉视频直播淎 Bar Song (Tipsy)香蕉视频直播� is the biggest song of the year, having spent more weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 than any other 香蕉视频直播� it is so popular, a remix of the track is also up for remixed recording.

Elsewhere, Shaboozey is nominated in the melodic rap performance category for his feature on Beyonc茅香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淪PAGHETTII.香蕉视频直播� Linda Martell, the first commercially-successful Black woman musician in country, is also featured on the song, delivering the 83-year-old artist her first Grammy nomination.

For record of the year, 香蕉视频直播淭exas Hold 香蕉视频直播橢m香蕉视频直播� will compete against Swift and Post Malone香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淔ortnight,香蕉视频直播� Eilish香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淏irds of a Father,香蕉视频直播� Lamar香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淣ot Like Us,香蕉视频直播� Roan香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淕ood Luck, Babe!香蕉视频直播�, Carpenter香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淓spresso,香蕉视频直播� Charli XCX香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播�360,香蕉视频直播� and the Beatles last new song, the AI-assisted 香蕉视频直播淣ow and Then.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e trying to make sure we香蕉视频直播檙e keeping up with how music creators and our community are using technology. And in this case, AI enhanced the record and allowed it to be eligible in the categories that it was eligible in,香蕉视频直播� Mason jr explains.

So, what香蕉视频直播檚 missing? Like last year, there香蕉视频直播檚 a huge dearth of Latin music 香蕉视频直播� the fastest growing streaming genre in the United States 香蕉视频直播� across the board, and no representation in the major categories. There are also only four entries in the best M煤sica Mexicana album category, despite it also being one of the fastest growing genres.

And K-pop, too, seems to be absent. There are no nominations for the BTS members who香蕉视频直播檝e released solo material this year: RM香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淩ight Place, Wrong Person,香蕉视频直播� J-Hope香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淗ope on the Street, Vol. 1,香蕉视频直播� and Jimin香蕉视频直播檚 香蕉视频直播淢use.香蕉视频直播� As a boy band, BTS has received five nominations across their career.

香蕉视频直播淚 definitely see room for improvement across many genres and we are continuing to invite people to be a part of the academy,香蕉视频直播� Mason jr. says. 香蕉视频直播淲ithout the right representation we don香蕉视频直播檛 get the right results. When I say right, I mean reflective and representative of what香蕉视频直播檚 happening in music today. So, the work continues.香蕉视频直播�

The 2025 Grammy Awards will air Feb. 2 live on CBS and Paramount+ from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
