Beyonce leads Grammy nomination

9/11/2024 6:19
        Superstar singer Beyonce
        topped the list of Grammy Award contenders unveiled on Friday,
        earning 11 nods including an album of the year nomination for
        her venture into country music, "Cowboy Carter."
        
        Behind Beyonce, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar
        and Post Malone tied with seven nominations each. Pop phenomenon
        Taylor Swift and newcomers Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter
        scored six each.
        
        Beyonce's nominations brought her career total to 99, more
        than any other artist. She had been tied for the lead with her
        husband, rapper Jay-Z, who has 88.
        
        Women dominated the album of the year category, the top
        Grammy honor.
        
        Beyonce, despite her lifetime lead in nominations, has never
        taken home the album trophy. Jay-Z called out that fact at the
        last Grammys ceremony, arguing that voters had failed to give
        proper recognition to Black artists.
        
        Swift has won the top prize four times and is in the running
        again with her breakup album "The Tortured Poets Department."
        
        At the awards ceremony in February, the Beyonce and Swift
        records will compete with Carpenter's "Short n' Sweet," "Brat"
        from Charli XCX, Eilish's "Hit Me Hard and Soft," and Roan's
        "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess."
        
        The two male artists nominated in the album field were
        rapper Andre 3000 with "New Blue Sun" and jazz artist Jacob
        Collier for "Djesse Vol. 4."
        
        Winners will be chosen by the roughly 13,000 singers,
        songwriters, producers, engineers and others who make up the
        Recording Academy. The organization has taken steps to diversify
        its ranks, and said 38% were people of color, a 65% increase
        since 2019.
        
        "Cowboy Carter" was viewed by experts and fans as a
        reclamation and homage to an overlooked legacy of Black
        Americans within country music and culture. It became the first
        album by a Black woman to land at No. 1 on the Billboard Top
        Country Albums chart when it was released last spring.
        
        The Beyonce album was snubbed, however, by voters for the
        Country Music Awards in September.
        
        Beyonce's other Grammy nods included record and song of the
        year for single "Texas Hold 'Em." She also was nominated in pop,
        rap and Americana categories, showcasing the variety of genres
        on "Cowboy Carter."
        
        In the best new artist field, "Espresso" singer
        Carpenter will face fellow pop singer Roan, pop-rock singer
        Benson Boone, hip-hop/country artist Shaboozey, multi-genre
        musician Teddy Swims and others.
        
        Also on the Grammy nominations list were The Beatles and The
        Rolling Stones.
        
        "Now and Then," a Beatles song produced with artificial
        intelligence to bring the voice of John Lennon to life, was
        nominated for song of the year.
        
        The Stones were recognized with a nomination for rock album
        of the year for "Hackney Diamonds," their first album of
        original music in 18 years.
