The 2017Β Grammy nomineesΒ were announced today! Β And, we couldn’t be more excited!
This year’s nominations mark two historical occasions: Chance the Rapper’s seven noms make him the first streaming-only artist to be nominated, while BeyoncΓ©’s nine for “Lemonade” make her the most nominated woman in history, bringing her total to 62 Grammy nominations throughout her career.
It’s also refreshing to see amazingly talented R&B performers get props. Β We see you, BJ The Chicago Kid, Ro James, Musiq Soulchild, Solange, Lalah Hathaway, Fantasia and Jill Scott.
The 59thΒ Grammy Awards, to be held Feb. 12 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.
