Will Beyoncé Finally Win Album of the Year Grammy With ‘Cowboy Carter’?
Written by djfrosty on April 2, 2024
As Jay-Z pointed out at the Grammys in February, Beyoncé has been nominated for album of the year four times but has never won — despite the fact that she’s the awards show’s winningest artist of all time, taking home 32 trophies from 88 nominations.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast (listen below), Katie & Keith are talking about whether her brand-new Cowboy Carter album could break that losing streak in the Grammys‘ top category. So far, it’s feeling like a critical and commercial success story that has all the makings of a top album of the year contender. But of course, the eligibility year (Sept. 16-Aug. 30) is young. We even still have new project from the reigning album of the year champ, Taylor Swift, coming later this month.
Listen to the new podcast below to hear our full conversation about Beyoncé’s early Grammy chances, as well as what song could be the next single following the seven-week Hot Country Songs chart-topper “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
