The 67th Grammy Awards nominations have been announced, and the nominees include a long list of top music stars who will be up for trophies at the Grammys ceremony in February.

Beyoncé led the nominations, with 11 in total for her country album “Cowboy Carter.” She is now the most-nominated artist in the award show’s history, with 99 total nominations across her career.

Beyoncé is one of five artists who were nominated in all three of the show’s top general categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year. The other music stars to be nominated in each of those categories are Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter. Roan and Carpenter were also nominated in the Best New Artist category, putting them in all four general categories. 

It’s a tie race for the other leading nominations. Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone and Charli XCX have each been nominated for seven Grammys, while Swift, Roan and Carpenter were each nominated for six awards. Meanwhile, the Beatles scored a surprising nomination for Record of the Year with the recently-released track “Now and Then,” which used artificial intelligence to meld old and new music from the band.
