Beyoncé goes a little deeper into music history

Traffic jam at the 2025 Grammy Awards

You may not have felt this way from listening to music throughout the last twelve months, but the year 2024 was one of the most prolific in the history of musicwith a lot of very active renowned artists, but also revelations, disappointments, and many albums released. It is no coincidence that we find such an eclectic selection among the list of nominees for the 2025 Grammy Awards: Andre 3000, the Beatles, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Lady Gaga, and even Justice or Gojira. There really is something for everyone! But one artist clearly stands out from the crowd in terms of number of nominations: Beyoncé, who is the most represented artist in all categories.

Beyoncé: another record number of nominations

We can say that this 2025 edition promises to be once again that of Beyoncé. The American singer has indeed been spoiled, sincewe find her in 11 different categories, thanks to her album “Cowboy Carter”, with country soundsgiving pride of place to the image of the “black cowboy” often invisible in the country universe. Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Country Solo Performance, Duo Performance, Best Country Albumin short, you will have understood, the singer is absolutely everywhere.

At the same time, it becomes the most nominated singer in Grammy history, with 99 nominations throughout her careerbeating his own record of 88 set last year. Besides Beyoncé, the other music stars are not left out either: Taylor Swift is doing very well with 6 nominations, Billie Eilish also with 7 reward possibilities, tied with Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone and Charli XCX.

Little moment of national pride: our Frenchies from the group Gojira, who will be in concert in Lyon next year, have also nominated in the “Best Metal Performance of the Year” categoryfor their concert at the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. We wish them good luck: a French metal band decorated at the Grammys would be incredible! See you on February 2, 2025, the evening of the ceremony, for the answer.
