Music elite compete for the most coveted Grammy awards this Sunday

The 2023 Grammys will once again be hosted by comedian Trevor Noah.

With nine nominations, Beyoncé is the most nominated at the awards, followed by rapper Kendrick Lamar, with eight. Adele and Brandi Carlile each received seven nominations.

The award ceremony will take place after a year marked by successful albums, such as the vibrant “Renaissance”, by Beyoncé, the introspective “30” by Adele and the lively “Un Verano Sin Ti” by Puerto Rican Bad Bunny.

The attention of the night is focused on Adele and Beyoncé, whose works are in the same categories as six years ago, when the British singer won against the revolutionary “Lemonade”, by Queen B. The competition is further fueled by criticism that the Recording Academy, responsible for the awards, does not give due recognition to black artists.

According to Billboard predictions, this year, Beyoncé's legions of fans will be celebrating with the singer for the award for best album. At the same time, other experts say that Adele has a chance of taking the statuette in the record of the year category, with the song “Easy On Me”.

The fact is that, in this 2023 edition, Beyoncé made history by accumulating 88 nominations, tying with her husband, Jay-Z, for the Grammy's most nominated artist.

With 28 victories, Beyoncé She is the woman with the most gramophones. On the overall list, she is tied for second place with producer Quincy Jones and has a chance of dethroning classical music director Georg Solti, with 31.

Brazil represented at the 2023 Grammys

Brazilian Anitta arrives in Los Angeles in search of her trophy. In one of the highlights categories, the award for best new artist could seal the internationalization of “Girl From Rio”, which got the world dancing with the hit “Envolver”.

Currently the artist with the highest grossing, Bad Bunny also arrives this Sunday with three nominations for his successful “Un Verano Sin Ti”, which competes for album of the year. It is the first time that an album recorded entirely in Spanish competes for an award, one of the most coveted of the night. The recognition is a milestone for the reggaeton rhythm, a Latin genre that revolutionized the global scene.

Featured at last year's Latin Grammys, Rosalía is seeking the award for best Latin rock or alternative music album.

TikTok boosts artists

No one is named as a favorite for the best new artist award, which, in previous editions of the Grammy, consecrated phenomena such as Olivia Rodrigo, Megan Thee Stallion and Billie Eilish. The nominations for this category show increasing variety and reflect current trends in music and video. Just like Anitta, rockers from the band Måneskin, rapper Latto and singer Omar Apollo went viral on TikTok. Find out more in the report below. ⤵️
