Beyoncé leads the field as the Grammys reveal 2023 nominations

The Grammy nominations are here, and hoo boy are there a lot of them.

Did you know there are 91 different categories? We only see a fraction of them on the main broadcast and in our news feeds, but The Recording Academy cuts a pretty wide swath across the world of music. Even the very long list below doesn't come close to the whole thing, which you can check out here if you want to dive quite deep on the proceedings.

Let’s do some highlights, though. In most of the categories we think of as “the big ones,” the Godzilla vs. Kong everyone will talk about is Adele vs. Beyoncé. Those two earned a spot in the running for Record, Album and Song of the Year along with Lizzo, Harry Styles and Kendrick Lamar. Beyoncé also led the way with nine nominations, just ahead of Kendrick Lamar’s eight, and Adele and Brandi Carlile with seven. 

Other artists we currently play on 88Nine didn’t do too shabby, either. Steve Lacy is up for Record and Song of the Year, Madison Cunningham popped up in Best American Roots Performance and Best Folk Album, and Beck and Spoon were among the rock nominees.
