The official list of nominees for the 2023 Grammy Awards has been announced, with Beyoncé leading nominations with nine nods total and Kendrick Lamar close behind with eight.
With the new round of nominations, Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, are tied as the most nominated artists in Grammy history with 88 nominations.
Other big nominees this year include Adele and Brandi Carlile, who are tied with seven nominations each, followed by Mary J. Blige, DJ Khaled, Future, Terius “The-Dream” Gesteelde-Diamant, Randy Merrill and Harry Styles, who all have six nods each.
The 65th annual music award show will return to its in-person format after it was live-streamed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The show will take place on Feb. 5, 2023, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and will be televised on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
This year, The Recording Academy announced five new Grammy Awards categories to be awarded at the show. Some of the new slots include Songwriter of the Year (Non-Classical) and Best Score Soundtrack For Video Games and Other Interactive Media categories.
A new Special Merit Award for Best Song For Social Change will also be included in the award categories.
“We’re so excited to honor these diverse communities of music creators through the newly established awards and amendments, and to continue cultivating an environment that inspires change, progress and collaboration,” said Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr.
“The Academy’s top priority is to effectively represent the music people that we serve, and each year, that entails listening to our members and ensuring our rules and guidelines reflect our ever-evolving industry.”
