Beyoncé becomes most nominated artist in Grammy history: full 2024 nominations

The 67th annual Grammy award nominations were announced on Friday, led by Beyoncé, whose country album Cowboy Carter leads the nominations with 11 – making the American artist the most Grammy nominated artist in history with 99.

Beyoncé’s latest album is once again up for album of the year, and also country album of the year, while its lead single, Texas Hold ’Em is nominated for record, song and country song of the year.

Beyoncé previously broke the record for the most Grammy Award wins of all time – totalling at 32 – after taking home four awards at the 2023 ceremony for her critically acclaimed seventh studio album, Renaissance. In winning her 32nd Grammy award, Beyoncé overtook Hungarian-British conductor George Solti, whose record of 31 Grammys had previously stood for more than 20 years.

Take a look at the timeline of each one of Beyoncé’s Grammy wins here.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift earned her seventh nod in the album category for her double album The Tortured Poets Department, while Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan also made it into the prestigious best new artist category.

Charli XCX - whose album Brat saw the moniker become word of the year - also has seven nods (her first as a solo artist), as does Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, and Post Malone.

British star Raye also received her first nominations for best new artist and songwriter of the year non-classical, and The Beatles are up for record of the year with Now And Then.
