Updated with details and full list: The nominees for the 67th Grammy Awards were revealed Friday morning, and the list is packed with big names. Beyoncé tops the field with 11 noms including Album, Song and Record of the Year, bringing her career total to 99.

Also vying in all three of those marquee categories are Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish and defending Album of the Year champ Taylor Swift.

Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone and Charli Xcx are next with seven nominations apiece, followed by Swift, Carpenter and Chappell Roan with a half-dozen each. See the full list of nominees below.

Among the biggest surprises today was an Album of the Year nom for Outkast alum André 3000 and the Record of the Year mention for “Now and Then” by a little combo out of Liverpool called The Beatles. Also, Wicked star Ariana Grande was shut out of the top categories.

Taylor Swift’s highly-anticipated 11th album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” is officially out. The record comes at a career high for Swift, who is the biggest pop star on the planet right now. Her last original album, “Midnights,” was a huge success and broke all types of records. Among those, it brought Swift a fourth Album of the Year Grammy win — the most for any artist — and a second win for Best Pop Vocal Album. This time around, with Swift still being as hot as ever with the general public, what can she possibly achieve next at the Grammys?

Taylor Swift’s historic fourth Album of the Year win

After Taylor Swift’s Album of the Year win for “Midnights,” Noah claimed she was the first person to win Album of the Year four times. That is not exactly correct — engineers Tom Coyne, Serban Ghenea, and John Hanes had won four times before “Midnights” — but Swift is indeed the first woman and first performer to win this many times, following her victories for “Fearless,” “1989” and “Folklore.” This historic win is a testament to Swift’s ability to make consistently successful albums,...

Taylor Swift secured a historic fourth Album of the Year win, while Miley Cyrus and Sza enjoyed big nights of their own at the 2024 Grammy Awards.

Swift’s world-conquering 2022 LP, Midnights, took home the night’s top prize, making her the first artist to win the award four times. She first won Album of the Year in 2010 for Fearless, then again in 2016 for 1989 and in 2021 for Folklore. (Mixing and mastering engineers Tom Coyne, Serban Ghenea, and John Hanes previously won, though Swift is the first artist.)

Los Angeles, Nov 11 (Ians) The list of the 67th Grammy Awards nominees is out and rapper Sza taking the lead with over nine nods. This is followed by Victoria Monét, Phoebe Bridgers, and Serban Ghenea with seven, and Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, and, Olivia Rodrigo with six.

So from the list of the leading singers it is evident that this time, the woman world is leading the race, with Batiste being the only male artiste to have over six nods. Others haven’t done all that well as no other male performer was able to go above six.

Prior to the 2024 show, the Recording Academy winnowed the Big Four categories from 10 back down to eight nominees, and three new categories were added this year: Best Alternative Jazz Album, Best Pop Dance Recording, and Best African Music Performance.

On Friday morning, nominations were revealed for the 2024 66th Grammy Awards, and Sza, Phoebe Bridgers, Victoria Monét and Taylor Swift dominated the top categories.

Sza led the nominations with nine nods in total. Sza’s extensive repertoire of songs reflects her unique blend of diverse influences, and her album Sos and its songs span pop, rap, and R&b categories. Her single “Kill Bill” is up for Song and Record of the Year.

The singer currently has won one Grammy award with 14 previous nominations.

Sza’s collaboration “Ghost in the Machine” with Bridgers was also nominated for the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

Monét, Bridgers and Serban Ghenea all follow Sza with seven nominations each. Monét is also nominated for Best New Artist, alongside singers Coco Jones and Gracie Abrams.

Swift has six nominations and could set a new record as the first artist to ever win Album of the Year four times.

What do Usher’s Confessions, La Roux’s “In for the Kill,” and Taylor Swift’s Folklore have in common? They were all mixed by 45-time Grammy-nominated Serban Ghenea.

You may not have noticed, but the Canadian mixer-engineer has received Grammy nominations for the last 12 consecutive years, taking home 19 awards. His first win was for Justin Timberlake’s Justified at the 46th Grammy Awards in 2004, and he’s since gone on to mix every Swift record, beginning with 2012’s Red and including her four rerecordings (with the exception of 2020’s Evermore).

This year,...

Updated with complete list of nominees: Nominations were unveiled Friday morning for the 66th Grammy Awards, ahead of the ceremony set for February 4, 2024 in Los Angeles.

The full list of Grammy noms will follow and be listed below.

This year’s field is is paced by Sza with nine nominations including for Record, Album and Song of the Year for “Kill Bill” and Sos. Phoebe Bridgers, Serban Ghenea and Victoria Monét have seven noms, while Jack Antonoff, Jon Batiste, boygenius, Brandy Clark, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift have six apiece.

Swift has dominated 2023 with her Eras Tour concerts and movie, along with her new album Midnights — one of four of her albums in the Billboard Top 10 at the same time back in June, a record.

This morning she is nominated for Album of the Year (Midnights) and Song of the Year (“Anti-Hero”) and Record of the Year,...

Sza came out on top in the 2023 Grammy nominations. She received nine bids from the Recording Academy, more than any other artist. Her recognition includes bids for Album of the Year (“Sos”) and Record and Song of the Year (“Kill Bill”). She has previously won just one Grammy in her career, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance as a featured artist on Doja Cat‘s hit single “Kiss Me More.” Check out the list of Grammy nominations here.

Following close behind with seven noms apiece are Phoebe Bridgers (including Record of the Year and Album of the Year for her work with the supergroup Boygenius), audio engineer and mixer Serban Ghenea and R&b singer Victoria Monét (including Record of the Year and Best New Artist). With six nominations are producer/songwriter Jack Antonoff, the eclectic Jon Batiste, alternative band Boygenius, Americana artist Brandy Clark, pop singer Miley Cyrus, singer/songwriter Billie Eilish,...

It’s the year of women at the Grammy Awards: female acts make up seven of the eight nominees in the top three categories — with Sza leading the pack with nine overall nominations while Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus and boygenius earned six nods a piece.

Album of the year nominees include Sza’s Sos, Swift’s Midnights, Rodrigo’s Guts, Cyrus’ Endless Summer Vacation, boygenius’ the record, Lana Del Rey’s Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd and Janelle Monáe’s The Age of Pleasure. Jon Batiste is the solo male nominee, competing with World Music Radio.

Batiste is the only male artist nominated for song of the year (“Butterfly”) and record of the year (“Worship”). Multiple songs are up for both honors, including Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” from Barbie, Swift’s “Anti-Hero,” Sza’s “Kill Bill,” Rodrigo’s “Vampire” and Cyrus’ “Flowers.

The Grammys eligibility period came to an end on September 15, 2023, so we’ve now officially heard all the albums that qualify for consideration at the upcoming awards. But the front-runner to win Album of the Year according to the combined predictions of Gold Derby users is a collection that came out at the very beginning of the season: Taylor Swift‘s “Midnights.” If we’re right, it would be an achievement unmatched by any artist in Grammy history.

Swift won Album of the Year for “Fearless” in 2010, “1989” in 2016 and “Folklore” in 2021. That’s the most wins ever in the category for a female artist, and it tied her as the most awarded artist of any gender. The only other performers with three Album of the Year trophies are Frank Sinatra, Paul Simon and Stevie Wonder. If Swift indeed wins a fourth she would stand alone among recording artists and tie engineers Tom Coyne,...

June 2023 — Modern music’s consummate chameleon Beck and Versailles’ foremost musical ambassadors Phoenix have teamed up to create an utterly infectious summer anthem in “Odyssey,” a landmark collaboration out today via Capitol Records/Universal Music Canada.

Three minutes and 47 seconds of sheer audio bliss, “Odyssey” is written, produced and performed by Beck and Phoenix, and mixed by Serban Ghenea. Beck and Thomas Mars nimbly trade lead vocals on the song’s verses, with the full cast joining to create the irresistible earworms of its choruses and each “Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah” singalong refrain. The result is two unmistakable sonic signatures combining to create something beyond the sum of its parts.

“Odyssey” is the spontaneous and perfect theme song for Beck and Phoenix’s eagerly anticipated co-headline Summer Odyssey tour. Produced by Live Nation, the 19-city run kicks off on Tuesday, August 1st in Seattle at Climate Pledge Arena,...

Ahead of their upcoming co-headlining “Summer Odyssey Tour,” Beck and Phoenix have shared a collaborative new single appropriately titled “Odyssey.” Check it out below.

“Odyssey” is a bubbly, über-electric track, where bass, synthesizers, and marimba combine for a vibrant summer theme song. Written and produced by Beck and Phoenix and mixed by Serban Ghenea, the track sees Beck and Thomas Mars trade verses before joining together for the chorus: “Somewhere/ We’ll fall into the ocean/ I’ll be there/ On an odyssey in the sun.”

The “Summer Odyssey Tour” begins August 1st and features support from Jenny Lewis, Sir Chloe, Japanese Breakfast, and Weyes Blood on select dates. Tickets are on sale here.

Phoenix’s last album was 2022’s Alpha Zulu, while earlier this year they shared a remix of the album cut “After Midnight” featuring Clairo. Back in February, Beck followed his 2019 album Hyperspace with the single “Thinking About You.

It’s not an overstatement to say Taylor Swift’s “Midnights” is already one of the biggest albums of the 21st century. The album broke sales and streaming records, netting 1.57 million total album units in its first week based on its combined album sales, track sales, and online streams. That was actually Swift’s career-best first week despite being her 10th album. With that success, paired with the critical acclaim Swift’s been enjoying lately, it’s no wonder that the album is currently poised for some Grammy recognition, leading the odds right now on Gold Derby for Album of the Year, and being a heavy contender for other categories as well. And just like how the album broke sales records for Swift, it could break some Grammy records for her as well.

As of right now, “Midnights” is the obvious favorite to win Best Pop Vocal Album, especially considering...

The 2023 Grammys just took place on February 5, but the eligibility period for 2024 is already almost half over, so we launched our predictions for Album of the Year. There’s still a long way to go, but at this early stage things are looking good for Taylor Swift, whose “Midnights” is the early front-runner for the award, according to the combined predictions of hundreds of users who have placed their bets here in our predictions center so far. If it does win, it would set yet another record for the singer-songwriter.

“Midnights” has been a massive commercial success for Swift. It debuted with 1.5 million equivalent album units based on the combination of its traditional sales, individual track sales, and online streams. It made Swift the first artist ever to occupy all of the top 10 slots on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. And it will be promoted by an “Eras Tour” that...

Beyoncé made the biggest news of the night Sunday at the 65th annual Grammy Awards.

The singer led the 2023 Grammy Awards nominations with a total of nine. Beyoncé’s career total of 88 nominations set a new record — one tied by her husband Jay-Z, who earned five noms this year. During the Premiere Ceremony, the pop star picked up two Grammys, breaking her 28-win tie with Quincy Jones. She also won best R&b song during the live broadcast, for “Cuff It,” tying late conductor Georg Solti’s 31-win record. She wasn’t there to accept that award, having experienced a very L.A. annoyance — being stuck in traffic — but arrived later during the ceremony, with host Trevor Noah presenting her the Grammy while she was seated in the audience. Later in the show, she won best dance/electronic album for Renaissance, beating Solti’s record, with a total of 32 career wins.

The 65th Grammy Awards take place on Sunday 5 February, with music fans preparing for the rematch of the century: Adele vs Beyoncé.

Both artists are up for Album of the Year, six years after Adele took home the top prize for her third record, 25. The win over Beyoncé’s critically adored surprise album Lemonade was highly controversial; Adele herself famously declared that Beyoncé deserved the prize during her acceptance speech.

This year, the British singer is competing with her record-obliterating fourth album, 30, released in 2021. A four-star review in The Independent praised the songs as “handsomely crafted ballads about love and its various agonies”, with Adele’s voice, as ever, the main draw. “Adele possesses that perfectly imperfect voice, gargantuan and frail all at once,” critic Annabel Nugent wrote. “It’s epic without resorting to showy, melismatic affectations. It yawns into unexpected shapes and makes intonation fun.”

Beyoncé, meanwhile, surprised fans...

The 2022 Grammys were filled with quite a number of surprising wins, though still a lot of predictable ones. But much like every year, a lot of stars managed to earn their place in Grammy history with fascinating and record-breaking wins. Let’s take a look at a few.

SEETop 4 lessons we learned from Grammys 2022 “Leave The Door Open”

Songwriter and producer Dernst Emile II, also known as D’Mile, made history as the first person to win Song of the Year back-to-back. Emile won last year for his contributions to H.E.R.’s “I Can’t Breathe,” a win that was quickly followed by an Oscar for another H.E.R. collaboration: “Fight for You” from “Judas and the Black Messiah.” This year D’Mile won for his work on Silk Sonic’s “Leave the Door Open,” for which he also took home a Record of the Year Grammy as a producer...

The 2022 Grammy Awards broadcast wrapped up with an upset victory of sorts, with Jon Batiste beating out the likes of Taylor Swift and Kanye west to take home Album of the Year for his excellent “We Are.”

That was his fifth win of the night, following four wins during the “Premiere Ceremony,” where all of the awards not deemed cool enough for television were handed out, hosted by the always wonderful Levar Burton.

Batiste also accomplished a rather ignominious milestone for the Grammy Awards themselves: He’s the first Black artist to win Album of the Year since Herbie Hancock back in 2008. You read that right: It’s literally been 14 years and 3 presidents since the Academy recognized the work of Black artists with this honor. And in case you’re wondering, the only nonwhite artist to win Best Album during that time was Bruno Mars in 2018.

Speaking of Mars, Batiste...

With the Grammy eligibility period for the 2022 ceremony more than halfway done already, let’s consider which artists are looking for more than just an award. This year we saw Beyoncé break the all-time record for most Grammy wins by a female artist, Taylor Swift nab a record-breaking third Album of the Year win, and key noms and wins for Megan Thee Stallion, Roddy Ricch, and Jacob Collier. Who’s poised to break more records and make more history next year?

With his highly anticipated album alongside Anderson Paak as the super duo Silk Sonic, Bruno Mars could make history in a couple of ways. First off, an Album of the Year win for “An Evening With Silk Sonic” would be Mars’ third Album of the Year win (he previously won as a producer on Adele...

The release of Taylor Swift's album Folklore in July caused a lot of chatter about her introspective lyrics, but it also sparked a new mystery: who is William Bowery?

On Swift's Instagram announcement prior to releasing Folklore, she credited several people who helped make it happen. For the most part, it was recognizable names: Aaron Dessner, Bon Iver, and Jack Antonoff, plus the sound team of Laura Sisk, Jon Low, and Serban Ghenea, and photographer Beth Garrabrant. Among those names, though, she also dedicated a line to "William Bowery (who co-wrote two [songs] with me)." Interestingly enough, he's not the only name who doesn't have a tagged Instagram account in Swift's post - Sisk, Low, and Ghenea also are all untagged.

While many fans theorized who it could be following the album's release, Swift put all the rumors to rest when she released her new Disney+ film, Folklore: the Long Pond Studio Sessions,...

Among those picking up four nods: last year’s Grammy queen, Billie Eilish, along with Megan Thee Stallion, Phoebe Bridgers, Justin Bieber, DaBaby, jazz musician John Beasley and classical composer David Frost. (One of the predicted leaders, The Weeknd, was shut out.)

Update: Taylor Swift’s new folklore album has had a fabled sales beginning.

Since its Thursday release, the album surpassed 1.3 million global sales in its first twenty-four hours, according to her Republic Records label.

Beyond that, folklore also dominated on the global streaming platforms. Spotify said Swift’s total of 79.4 million streams is a new record for an album by a female artist. Apple Music’s total of 35.47 million is a new high for a pop album.

That means the album will easily debut at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart, and will have the best showing since Swift’s Lover album came out in 2019.

Final first-week numbers will not be available until a week from Monday.

Earlier: In a perfect world, Taylor Swift would be out on the road doing a stadium tour this summer. As we all know, it’s not a perfect world.
