Beyoncé Is the Most Nominated Female Artist in Grammy History

Kanye West cleaned up with a total of eight nominations, but his latest album, “The Life of Pablo”, was only nominated for rap categories at the awards show.

Beyonce received nods in nine categories for the music industry’s biggest night including Album of the Year for “Lemonade”, her contemplative look at African-American women that she intertwined with a movie. F-k u Grammys, ANTI did unbelievable things this year and y’all played her. However, it will not be easy because the competition is quite stiff.

Adele and Beyoncé will go head-to-head at the 2017 Grammy Awards with each receiving three nominations in the same categories.

Beyonce and Adele’s competition for the album of the year category also includes Justin Bieber’s album goal and Drake with his album Views.

Country-rock’s Sturgill Simpson caused the biggest surprise when he managed the Album of the Year nomination that most pundits had Bowie pencilled in for.

The US singer won acclaim for her million-selling hit breakup album “Lemonade” and the music film that accompanied its release, which include collaborations with rock’s Jack White and rap’s Kendrick Lamar.

According to USA Today, Beyonce’s Lemonade is the Recording Academy voters’ drink of choice.

InvestorPlace has also collected a list of the 2017 Grammy Nominations for Album of the Year.

“Blackstar” will compete with Bowie’s friend, collaborator and fellow icon Iggy Pop’s “Post Pop Depression” for best alternative music album.

The song ‘One Dance’ by Drake featuring Kyla and Nigerian pop act Wizkid is missing from the list of nominees released today by the Recording Academy. “But listen to (his) album – it’s quite extraordinary”.

Eight more wins will make her the most-awarded female artist in Grammy history, beating out Allison Krauss. As a featured artist, Daya sings all the lyrics in the hit song.

But Rihanna herself has no resentment towards Queen Bey or the Grammy committee, and she made her feelings known.

In sales terms, Adele, a 2012 best album victor, would be the favourite – 25 sold 10m copies in the United States compared to Lemonade’s 1.5m.

Keith Urban, Sia and Flume head an impressive contingent of Australians who have collected Grammy Award nominations across multiple music genres.
