2023 Grammy Nominations: The Complete List

Beyoncé leads the way in the just announced 2023 Grammy nominations, securing nine nods and tying the record for the most-nominated artist of all time.

Three of Bey’s nods are in the Big Four categories, with Renaissance up for album of the year and “Break My Soul” vying for record and song of the year. And whose record does Queen B tie for the most nominations ever? Her husband Jay-Z, of course, with the couple each scoring 88 noms in their careers (Jay picks up five new nods this year between his work on DJ Khaled‘s “God Did” and Bey’s Renaissance).

Just trailing Beyoncé in 2023 nominations is Kendrick Lamar, who also has three Big Four nods (album of the year for Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers and record and song of the year for “The Heart Part 5”). Adele and Brandi Carlile each add seven nominations to their already storied Grammy legacies, while six artists tie with six nods apiece: Mary J. Blige, Harry Styles, DJ Khaled, Future, The-Dream and mastering engineer Randy Merrill.

Find the full list of nominees below. The 2023 Grammy Awards will be presented on Sunday, Feb. 5, at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena.
