The 2025 Grammy nominations are in, and Beyoncé has added another record to a career already crowded with them.
She leads the field with 11 nominations, including Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter and Record and Song of the Year for “Texas Hold ’Em.” The new nominations bring her career total to 99, making her the most-nominated artist in Grammy history.
Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone follow with seven nominations each. Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Taylor Swift received six apiece.
The Album of the Year category brings together André 3000, Beyoncé, Carpenter, Charli XCX, Jacob Collier, Eilish, Roan and Swift. The field covers country, pop, electronic music, experimental jazz and one instrumental flute album that arrived without lyrics but apparently had plenty to say.
Carpenter and Roan both earned nominations in Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist. Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” landed in both the record and song categories, while The Beatles returned to Record of the Year with “Now and Then.”
Here is a look at the nominees in the general field and several Gospel and Contemporary Christian Music categories.
