    The road to Grammy glory begins today, as nominations for the 67e annual music awards are revealed.

    The Recording Academy announced nominees in a whopping 94 categories, by far the most of any major awards show.

    With her top 11 nominations, Beyoncé now has a total of 99 career points, making her the most nominated artist in Grammy history (she previously shared the record with husband Jay-Z with 88). Her 32 wins also make her the most awarded artist in Grammy history.

    And it’s another good year for women in the music industry. Yes, it’s true, women dominate the record and album of the year categories, as well as best pop solo performance, best pop vocal album, best R&B performance, best R&B song, best Americana performance , the best folk album and the best Latin pop album.

    With so much news coming out of the nominees list, stay tuned as music expert Melissa Ruggieri and the USA TODAY entertainment team break down what’s in store for Music’s Biggest Night. Then mark your calendars for February 2, when the nominees find out who will take home a gold-plated Grammys phonograph.

    Did you know? The Beatles’ ‘Now and Then’ is an example of how AI fits into Grammy nominations. The technology was used as a means of production and not as a replacement for human creativity, which is the Grammy standard for allowing AI use. The song comes from old tapes and recording sessions of the band when all members were still alive.

    Producer Giles Martin broke down the song last year with USA TODAY, saying, “Paul really loved John and without a doubt they missed each other. There were only four Beatles and like trauma, they were the only ones who could understand it because they were the only those who could understand it.” those who experienced it. I think that’s why Paul wanted to finish ‘Now and Then’. It was seen as the last collaboration of the four of them.”

    You know it’s going to be a diverse year when The Rolling Stones and Fontaines DC fall into the same category.

    Paramore’s Hayley Williams announced the category, which her band won last year with ‘This is Why’.

    The acts eligible for the prize in 2025 are:

    “Happiness Bastards” The Black Crows

    “Romance” Fontaines DC

    “Rescuers” Green Day

    “Tangk” stands still

    Pearl jam of ‘dark matter’

    “Hackney Diamonds” by the Rolling Stones

    “No Name” Jack White

    Did you know? The Rolling Stones have fourteen career Grammy nominations and three wins, not including their 1987 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. If “Hackney Diamonds” wins, it will be their first in a rock category since 1995, when “Voodoo Lounge” took the honor. The band won for best traditional blues album in 2018 with ‘Blue & Lonesome’.

    Wow! Beyoncé stakes her claim in the country categories alongside another pop star, Post Malone. Genres? Which genres?

    Chris Stapleton, “It Takes a Woman”

    Jelly Roll, “I’m Not Okay”

    Did you know? It may feel like Sabrina Carpenter is a new artist because of her breakthrough this year, but “Short n’ Sweet” is her sixth album. And these are her first Grammy nominations.

    Daniel Radcliff at the Grammys? The ‘Harry Potter’ actor starred alongside Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez in ‘Merrily We Roll Along’ on Broadway. It was nominated in the best musical theater album category.

    When the critically acclaimed show wrapped this summer, Radcliff told USA TODAY “I couldn’t have asked for anything more” about his turn in the Stephen Sondheim revival.

    Also nominated are:

    “The Kitchen of Hell”

    “The Notebook”

    “The Outsiders”

    “Sufft”

    “The Wiz”

    Did you know? Alicia Keys already has a shelf full of Grammys – 16 – but her nomination for “Hell’s Kitchen,” the musical inspired by her life, is her first in the best musical theater albums category.

    Daniel Nigro (“Good luck, honey!” Chappell Roan)

    Did you know? Jack Antonoff, a frequent collaborator of Taylor Swift, has won it for the past three years. Had he been nominated and won in 2025, he would have been the first person to do it four times in a row. But it seems like Grammy voters wanted a different name this go-round.

    The five nominees in the songwriter of the year, non-classical category are behind some of the year’s biggest hits.

    They are:

    Jessi Alexander (“Remember Him Like This” Luke Combs)

    Amy Allen (“Espresso” Sabrina Carpenter)

    Edgar Barrera (“Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” Karol G)

    Jessie Jo Dillon (“Sorry Mom” Kelsea Ballerini)

    RAYE (“RIIVERDANCE” Beyoncé)

    Did you know? Amy Allen definitely has an ear for pop songs. She has collaborated with Harry Styles a few times and was part of his 2023 Album of the Year win for ‘Harry’s House’ for co-writing ‘Matilda’.

    Did you know? This is also Raye’s first Grammy nomination. Last year, when her album ‘My 21st Century Blues’ was overlooked, she said she wasn’t upset at all because she had “barely scratched the surface” of her career. And here we are.

    This year’s awards ceremony will take place on February 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and will be broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+.

    Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. spoke to USA TODAY last night and noted several times that he is “so proud” of the work the 13,000 voting members have done with this year’s nominees. It is voted on by members of the Recording Academy, including songwriters, composers, musicians, producers, engineers and more. The trend he sees is ‘excellence, regardless of genre’.

    We’re so glad you asked. Only work released between September 16, 2023 and August 30, 2024 can be submitted.

    The Recording Academy received a whopping 20,000 entries in 94 categories.
