The two were tied for nominations with 88 each, but Beyoncé is now leading after receiving recognition for her latest album, ‘Cowboy Carter.’
She leads the race this year with 11 nominations, including Best Album, Best Country Album, and Song of the Year (Texas Hold ‘Em).
Other major nominees, with seven each, included Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone and Charli XCX.
The Beatles were also nominated for Record of the Year for John Lennon’s unfinished track Now And Then. It was completed last year with the help of AI.
Beyoncé is already the Recording Academy’s most honored artist, with 32 wins as a solo artist and three with Destiny’s Child.
But she has never won the coveted Album of the Year trophy, despite being nominated four times in that category.
Most recently, Harry Styles beat her out for the award at the 2023 ceremony. Here, Beyoncé’s Disco Odyssey Renaissance was the bookmakers’ favorite to win.
Earlier this year, Jay-Z appeared to scold Grammy voters for Beyoncé’s lack of recognition in the top categories as she accepted her Lifetime Achievement Award.
“I don’t want to embarrass this young woman,” he told the audience. “But she’s won more Grammys than anyone else and she’s never won album of the year.
“So even by your own standards, it doesn’t work. Think about it. You’ve won the most Grammys and you’ve never won Album of the Year. It doesn’t work.”
