Stream The 2017 Grammys

Beyonce has other nominations in different categories.

Drake, Adele, Beyonce and Rihanna make up the top four album sellers of 2016 in the United States. It’s in the same spirit of numerous films and television shows that have marked this awards season. This diverse showing, however, still hasn’t done much to shake up the status quo – a fact cited by artists such as Frank Ocean, who has said he is choosing to sit out of the Grammys this year.

For the song “Rolling in the Deep”, she won Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Short Form Music Video awards and also, she was honoured with the Best Pop Solo Performance award for “Someone Like You”.

The 23-year-old Chicago-born rapping superstar is not necessarily the newest of the bunch, he’s been releasing mixtapes since 2012 and is most notably known for keeping his music free.

Throughout “Lemonade“, Beyonce directed herself to an audience of fellow African American women with themes of resilience.

For young artists who are building their careers at a time of intense fragmentation in the music industry – when success is often the product of bottom-up momentum rather than top-down authority – a pre-internet institution like the Grammys can seem ancillary or antiquated.

The evening’s biggest prize is only one of eight nominations Drake has in his pocket.

For the Best New Artist Category, The Chainsmokers, Chance the Rapper, Kelsea Ballerini, Anderson Paak and Maren Morris. The Chicago artist benefited from updated rules that consider streaming exclusives.

Performers have not yet been announced for the Prince and George Michael tributes; Gaga, who tore through a medley of Bowie’s greatest hits a year ago, is one possibility, but ceremony organizers may look to distance themselves from a repeat of the criticism (including a stinging tweet from Bowie’s son) incurred by that tribute.

During the ceremony a year ago, Lady Gaga paid tribute to David Bowie, who passed on January 10, with an elaborate medley of his songs and Jackson Browne, Don Henley and Joe Walsh performed a touching version of “Take it Easy” for Eagles player Glenn Frey, who died on January 18.

The Grammys are also known for creating household names.

Daft Punk will play with R&B sensation The Weeknd, whose music the duo recently produced.
