To the surprise of absolutely no one, Beyoncé leads this year’s Grammy nominations, announced Tuesday morning, with a total of nine nods for her critically acclaimed Lemonade. This brings her grand total of career nominations up to 62, making her the fifth most Grammy-nominated artist of all time. And Kanye West’s threat to boycott next year’s ceremony if Frank Ocean wasn’t nominated (Ocean did not submit his long-awaited albums for consideration) did not stop the Recording Academy from bestowing eight nominations upon the 39-year-old rapper-producer. He now has 65 career-spanning nominations, putting him just ahead of frenemy Jay Z (64) as the third most Grammy-nominated artist of all time.
Elsewhere, the Grammys voted as is to be expected, which is to say there were plenty of choices that were both wrongheaded and completely unsurprising. Justin Bieber’s uneven Purpose made it into the Album of the Year category and further cemented the success of his yearlong redemption narrative. Drake’s Views racked up quite a few nods because the academy has no qualms honoring lackluster blockbuster albums. And the Chainsmokers, the dude-bros behind the terrible but near-record-breaking No. 1 hit, managed to land three nominations, including one for Best New Artist.
On the brighter side, Chance the Rapper, whose wonderful Coloring Book mixtape helped lead the Grammys to change its eligibility rules, nabbed seven nods, including Best New Artist.
