Most Grammy nominations for Record of the Year

On 15 November 2022, Beyoncé (USA, b. Beyoncé Knowles) broke a tie with Frank Sinatra by landing an eighth nomination in the prestigious Record of the Year category at the Grammy Awards. “Break My Soul”, the lead single from her seventh studio album Renaissance (which was also nominated, for Album of the Year), was one of nine nods received by the singer for the 65th edition of the Grammys on 5 February 2023. It followed previous Record of the Year recognition for “Queen B” for “Say My Name” (as a member of Destiny’s Child, 2001), “Crazy in Love” (Beyoncé feat. Jay-Z, 2004), “Irreplaceable” (2008), “Halo” (2010), “Formation” (2017), “Black Parade” (2021) and “Savage” (Megan thee Stallion feat. Beyoncé, 2021).

In 2021, Beyoncé was the first female – and the second act overall after Pharrell Williams in 2014 – to be nominated twice in the same year.
