Artists With the Most 2025 Grammy Nominations

Once again, it’s Queen Bey’s world, we’re just living in it.

Beyoncé made history on Friday (Nov. 8) when she landed 11 2025 Grammy Award nominations, setting a one-year record for nods for a woman artist. The Cowboy Carter star had previously shared the title with Lauryn Hill, who earned 10 noms in 1999; Bey got 10 as well in 2010.

She wasn’t alone in racking up multiple nominations, with Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Post Malone tied for second place with seven nods and Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Taylor Swift tied for third place with six nominations.

Records fell all over the place, with Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department marking her seventh album of the year nomination, helping her break a tie with Barbra Streisand for the woman with the most AOTY nods. Beyoncé also made history when Cowboy Carter got an AOTY bid, elevating the singer to the pole position on the list of Black artists with the most AOTY nominations as a lead artist; she was formerly tied with Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar on that list.

Bey has been up for the night’s top prize four other times, but to date has never won the award. In addition, Cowboy Carter has officially become the second-most Grammy-nominated album of all time, trailing only Michael Jackson’s Thriller, which received 13 total nods in 1984. Jackson was personally responsible for 11 of those nods; the other two went to associates who worked on the album.

Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” snagged record and song of the year nominations, putting the Compton MC in a tie with Jay-Z for the most noms in each of those categories by a rapper. Roan and Carpenter both racked up nominations in each of the Big Four categories – album, record and song of the year and best new artist – marking the third time in Grammy history that two artists have achieved that quadfecta in the same year.

Eilish ran up her fifth record of the year nomination for “Birds of a Feather,” making the singer the first artist in Grammy history to roll up five record of the year nods before turning 23; Eilish will turn that age on Dec. 18. Grammy darling Swift got her record-extending eighth song of the year nomination for co-writing the Tortured Poets single “Fortnight,” a category she has yet to win in. Swift co-wrote “Fortnight” with Jack Antonoff and Post Malone, whose nomination marks his second in that category.

“Fortnight” is also up for record of the year, with Posty scoring additional attention in best pop duo/group performance for his Cowboy Carter duet with Bey on “Levii’s Jeans,” as well as best country duo/group performance for his smash single “I Had Some Help” with Morgan Wallen, which also got a nod for best country song.

Charli XCX might celebrate her Brat summer next year thanks to a record of the year nomination for her single “360,” as well as AOTY notices for Brat and best pop solo performance for “Apple,” among other noms.
