Grammy Awards 2023: See the Complete List of Winners // Ozzy Osbourne Wins Best Metal Performance, Best Rock Album

By Lester Fabian Brathwaite, Entertainment Weekly | It’s been quite a year for music, from Beyoncé’s unbreakable soul and Adele’s “Easy” listening to Bad Bunny’s hot boy Verano and Harry Style’s House party. Now we get to see who will be needing a U-Haul to take all their trophies home from the 65th annual Grammy Awards.

Bey’s going in with the most nominations (nine), bringing her career total to a record 88, tying with her equally overachieving husband, Jay-Z. Her Renaissance is up for Album of the Year, along with Adele’s 30, Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti, ABBA’s first album of new material in 40 years — and their last album ever — Voyage, Mary J. Blige’s Good Morning Gorgeous, Harry Styles’ Harry’s House, Lizzo’s Special, Brandi Carlile’s In These Silent Days, and Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres.

Noticeably absent from this year’s nominees are Silk Sonic, Drake, and the Weeknd, who had all asked to be removed from consideration — for different reasons. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s Midnights, one of the biggest albums of 2022, didn’t quite make the cutoff point for the Recording Academy’s guidelines, so she’ll have to wait another year to claim those nods. Still, her “All Too Well (10-Minute Version) (The Short Film)” was nominated for Song of the Year.
