Years may pass before an artist completes their masterpiece. The Beatles’ “Now And Then” trip lasted forty-five years. The demo was first written by John Lennon in the late 1970s. The confession, accompanied by a piano, is melancholic: “I know it’s true/ It’s all because of you/ And if I make it through/ It’s all because of you.”
Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli xcx, and Chappell Roan shown throughout the course of the last year why they are at the top of pop’s current class. While Beyoncé and Taylor Swift are still pushing the boundaries of their own music, the Beatles and Kendrick Lamar have solidified their individual legacies.
Beyoncé breaks record for most nominations
Following the Recording Academy’s announcement of its nominations on Friday, Beyonce became the most Grammy nominated artist in history. 2025 GRAMMYs Nominations: Record Of The Year Nominees:
Beyonce’s debut country album, “Cowboy Carter,” which she released last spring, has earned her a staggering 99 nominations, surpassing her husband Jay-Z’s record of 88.
The 43-year-old megastar received 11 nominations for the record, which put her ahead of all other artists this year.
Los Angeles will host the award presentation on February 2.
Who else made the cut?
With seven nominations apiece, Beyonce was closely followed by Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar, and Post Malone.
In the meanwhile, Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift, and Chappell Roan each received six nominations. Among other things, the latter two are vying for the highly anticipated best new artist category.
The album of the year category was dominated by women.
Among the albums that compete with Beyonce’s are Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department,” Charli XCX’s “BRAT,” Carpenter’s “Short ‘n’ Sweet,” Roan’s “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,” and Eilish’s “Hit me Hard and Soft.” Other musicians competing for the esteemed category include Jacob Collier and Andre 3000.
However, The Beatles’ candidacy was arguably the most surprising. The iconic English band’s song “Now and Then,” which was artificially re-created from John Lennon’s shaky tape, is contending in the best record category. 2025 GRAMMYs Nominations: Record Of The Year Nominees:
