Appropriately enough, each of the aforementioned artists \u2014 except Drake, who stopped submitting his music for Grammy consideration a while back \u2014 received loads of nominations when next year\u2019s Grammy Awards contenders were announced Friday.<\/p>\n<p>That isn\u2019t to say that everything played out exactly as expected. And there are plenty of subplots and storylines to unpack as we await the Grammys telecast on Feb. 2, 2025:<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-backstage-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap backstage\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<p><strong>1. It\u2019s been a massive year for women in pop.<\/strong> Remember back in 2018, when Neil Portnow, then head of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, said that women needed to \u201cstep up\u201d after that year\u2019s Grammys were overwhelmingly won by men? Yeah, he sucked. This year, women dominate the major categories: In record of the year, song of the year and album of the year, six of the eight nominees are headlined by women, though several share billing with male counterparts. And, while the best new artist field is split 50-50, the overwhelming frontrunners (Roan and Carpenter) are both women.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. As expected, Beyonc\u00e9 leads the field.<\/strong> The two most heavily nominated musicians of all time share a household: Until Friday, Beyonc\u00e9 and Jay-Z were tied with 88 nominations apiece, while Beyonc\u00e9 holds the all-time record for Grammy wins with 32. Now, Queen Bey has a stunning 99 nominations to her name, as <em>Cowboy Carter<\/em> and an assortment of its songs have racked up a field-leading 11 nods. It helps that <em>Cowboy Carter<\/em> sprawls across multiple genres and brings in loads of collaborators, which made her eligible in more categories than, say, Chappell Roan, who lacks eligible collaborations and didn\u2019t submit in any genres outside pop.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-secondary-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap secondary\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<p><strong>3. Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter join a select group.<\/strong> The Grammys have four general, cross-genre categories, which have collectively come to be known as The Big Four: album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist. In the history of the awards, only 13 artists have been nominated in all four categories during the same year \u2014 most recently Olivia Rodrigo three years ago. (FINNEAS kinda did it that year, too, but it didn\u2019t count; he was nominated for best new artist as a solo act, but his other nominations in that year\u2019s Big Four were headlined by his sister, Billie Eilish.) In the latest round of nominations, Roan and Carpenter are up for each of The Big Four; if either happens to sweep, she\u2019ll become only the third artist ever to do so, after Christopher Cross in 1981 and Eilish in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Wait, Sabrina Carpenter \u2014 whose <em>Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em> is her sixth album \u2014 is up for <em>best new artist<\/em>?<\/strong> Yeah, the category of best new artist could really use a rebrand, perhaps to something like \u201cbest breakthrough artist,\u201d because newness is very much in the eye of the beholder here. But Carpenter broke through in a big way in 2024, so she was eligible. (The rules are more byzantine than that, but that\u2019s the gist of it.) Same goes for her fellow nominee Khruangbin, which has been cranking out albums since 2015, but fairly recently became popular enough to fill stadiums.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Speaking of confusing categories\u2026<\/strong> Grammy viewers have long been baffled by the difference between record and song of the year. As it turns out, so are Grammy <em>voters<\/em>, who heard Shaboozey\u2019s chart-topping \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy)\u201d and nominated it for song of the year, but not record of the year. Song of the year is an award for composition, while record of the year is an award for the complete package: the production, the performance, the vibe. \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy)\u201d is terrific; it\u2019s great fun. But it\u2019s more of a \u201crecord of the year\u201d kind of song than a \u201csong of the year\u201d kind of song.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-third-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap third\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<p><strong>6. The record of the year field does include one <em>very<\/em> old song.<\/strong> \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy)\u201d famously interpolates J-Kwon\u2019s 2004 hit \u201cTipsy,\u201d but the Recording Academy went even further back for the awards\u2019 premier category. John Lennon wrote and recorded his demo of The Beatles\u2019 \u201cNow and Then\u201d sometime around 1977, but the song wasn\u2019t finished or released until late 2023. Naturally, it came out with a huge surge of fanfare, though it\u2019s more curiosity than classic; still, it\u2019s one of eight songs nominated for record of the year in 2025. If it wins, it\u2019ll be the first time a Beatles song won a Grammy since all the way back in\u2026 February 2024, when a remastered reissue of 1966\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m Only Sleeping\u201d won best music video.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. The album of the year field features two extreme dark horses.<\/strong> Six of the eight nominees for album of the year were pretty much mortal locks: Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s <em>Cowboy Carter<\/em>, Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s <em>Short n\u2019 Sweet<\/em>, Charli xcx\u2019s <em>Brat<\/em>, Billie Eilish\u2019s <em>HIT ME HARD AND SOFT<\/em>, Chappell Roan\u2019s <em>The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess<\/em> and Taylor Swift\u2019s <em>The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>. Those six albums dominated 2024 \u2014 not only based on sales and streaming, but also in terms of their overall cultural footprint. The next two? Not so much.<\/p>\n<p>One is Jacob Collier\u2019s <em>Djesse Vol. 4<\/em>, which marks Collier\u2019s first album of the year nomination since the one he got for, um, <em>Djesse Vol. 3<\/em>. With credit to NPR Music editor Jacob Ganz, who referred to this nomination as \u201cfilling the Jon Batiste jazz-but-with-smiling spot,\u201d the nod to Collier feels strange coming from such a crowded field of powerhouse contenders. Still, it\u2019s not as unexpected as the nomination for Andr\u00e9 3000\u2019s <em>New Blue Sun<\/em> \u2014 which is, remember, an epic-length collection of flute-forward instrumental odysseys. OutKast was a Grammy staple, sure, and lots of people were curious about Andr\u00e9\u2019s first record in 17 years. But\u2026 album of the year? Really?<\/p>\n<aside id=\"ad-overflow-3-wrap\" class=\"ad-wrap overflow\" aria-label=\"advertisement\">\n<\/aside>\n<p><strong>8. Of course, there were snubs.<\/strong> Getting left out of a field of five, six or eight nominees isn\u2019t technically a \u201csnub\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s just math, really \u2014 but there were still surprises among this year\u2019s Grammy omissions. Dua Lipa\u2019s <em>Radical Optimism<\/em> didn\u2019t perform as well as its predecessor, and the field of women in pop was unusually crowded and strong this year, but her lack of nominations feels notable. (See also: Ariana Grande, who did pick up three nominations but was shut out of The Big Four.) Fans might be surprised to see Zach Bryan absent from the field, given how well his records performed in 2024, but he refused to submit any of his music for consideration, so he\u2019s out. The biggest surprise of all may be Vampire Weekend, whose <em>Only God Was Above Us<\/em> was considered a lock to be nominated in several categories \u2014 possibly even album of the year \u2014 but got left out of all of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Speaking of which, Ye\u2019s Grammy star may finally be fading.<\/strong> The artist formerly known as Kanye West has been nominated for 75 Grammys, and won 24 of them. Even a long string of controversies failed to dampen the Grammys\u2019 enthusiasm for him, given that <em>Donda<\/em> was nominated for album of the year just three years ago. But Ye\u2019s latest album, the Ty Dolla $ign collaboration <em>Vultures 2<\/em>, yielded just one nomination, for best rap song (\u201cCarnival\u201d). Ye is either matched or exceeded by an impressive assortment of women, as this year\u2019s rap categories include nominations for Cardi B, Doechii, GloRilla, Beyonc\u00e9 (joined by Linda Martell), Latto and Rapsody (with Erykah Badu).<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Never, ever overlook Taylor Swift.<\/strong> Wait, did you just read 12 paragraphs and only <em>one<\/em> of them mentioned Taylor Swift? Is that even legal? Really, how dare you? Swift picked up six more nominations this year, bringing her total to 58 overall, with 24 wins \u2014 including four album of the year gramophones. She\u2019s picked up her <em>seventh<\/em> nomination for album of the year (for <em>The Tortured Poets Department<\/em>), is in the running for song and record of the year (for \u201cFortnight\u201d) and\u2026 hey, where are you going?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/11\/09\/nx-s1-5181959\/2025-grammy-nominations-10-takeaways\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sabrina Carpenter, seen here at Coachella earlier this year, is nominated in each of the big four categories at the 2025 Grammy Awards: album, song and record of the year, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=124223\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-124223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-entertainment","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=124223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/124223\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=124223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=124223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=124223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
