Grammys 2017: Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’ Leads With 9 Nominations

Beyonce leads the list of the 2017 Grammy nominations, having earned nine total, including Album of the Year for “Lemonade,” as well as Song of the Year and Record of the year for lead single “Formation.” The visual component, which debuted on HBO in April and earned four Emmy nominations, is also up for Best Music Film.

Drake, Rihanna and Kanye West each earned eight nominations, and Chance the Rapper rounds out the top five with seven for his third mixtape “Coloring Book” and guest work on Kanye West’s “The Life of Pablo.”

Tuesday’s nine nominations bring Beyonce’s career total to 62, which makes her the most-nominated female artist in Grammy history. If she wins in eight of the categories, she’ll have a total of 28 awards, surpassing country singer Alison Krauss as the most-awarded female artist.

West is up in eight categories, but the rapper has previously pledged to boycott the ceremony. After Frank Ocean’s two 2016 albums “Endless” and “Blonde” were disqualified in October because the R&B singer failed to submit the necessary documents before the deadline, West announced he’d skip the awards to “fight the bulls—.”

This year’s awards will be broadcast on CBS on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. “The Late Late Show’s” James Corden will serve as host.

“Just as we see emerging musicians experimenting, we’re also seeing established artists resisting what’s expected of them and, instead, embracing the creative freedom they’ve been afforded through their success, blurring the lines between music’s mainstream and artistic edge,” said Neil Portnow, President and CEO of The Recording Academy, in a statement.
