Even the Grammys have to bow down to Queen Bey. As of today, Beyonce is now the most nominated woman in Grammys history.

Earlier this morning, Beyonce’s self-titled surprise album from last December was nominated for Best Urban Contemporary Album. Her competition in that category includes Chris Brown’s X, Pharrell Williams’ GIRL, Jhene Aiko’s Sail Out and Mali Music’s Mali Is....

Billboard notes that this nomination broke her tie with country music icon Dolly Parton. They both had 46 nominations before today. With her 47th, Beyonce is the most-nominated woman in Grammys history.

Overall, Beyonce is stuck in a tie with producer David Foster for the seventh-most nominations. If Beyonce earns another nomination later today, she can break that tie.

Beyonce has won an astonishing 17 Grammys during her career already. We won’t know until Sunday, Feb. 8 if she will add any more to her cabinet at the 57th Grammy Awards, but it is likely.

Beyonce’s Beyonce: More Only EP debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart this week.

That either one holds the record for most nominations makes me wonder what the criteria is for winning the award.

This makes me dismiss it altogether:

With 31 Grammy Awards, Sir Georg Solti is the artist with the most Grammy wins.[15] Alison Krauss is the biggest winner among female artists with 27 awards.[16] U2, with 22 Grammy Awards, holds the record for most awards won by a group.
