In brief
Beyoncé has officially surpassed her husband Jay-Z as the most-nominated artist in Grammy history, receiving her 89th nomination.
Beyoncé has achieved a significant milestone in Grammy history by becoming the most-nominated artist ever, overtaking her husband Jay-Z. Both had previously been tied with 88 nominations each, but the singer advanced to 89 following the announcement of her nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance for the song "Bodyguard." This recognition comes as part of her latest album, *Cowboy Carter*, as the full nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards continue to unveil. While holding the record for the most Grammy wins with 32 awards as a solo artist, plus three with Destiny's Child, Beyoncé notably has yet to secure the prestigious Album of the Year award, despite being nominated four times in that category. The most recent loss came at the 2023 Grammy ceremony when Harry Styles took home the accolade, while Beyoncé's album *Renaissance* was a strong contender.Earlier this year, at a ceremony where Jay-Z received a lifetime achievement award, he spoke out on Beyoncé's lack of recognition in the Album of the Year category, stating, "She has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year." He emphasized that this discrepancy does not make sense according to Grammy standards.As this year's nominations are announced, Beyoncé is expected once again to be in the running for the Album of the Year, alongside other notable artists like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Chappell Roan. Additionally, early nominations have emerged for British artist Raye, while the Rolling Stones have been acknowledged for Best Rock Album with their release *Hackney Diamonds*, their first original project in several years. As the nomination details unfold, updates will continue to emerge from the Grammy awards livestream event, featuring appearances from various artists.
