Grammy Nominations 2023: Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Adele, & More Vying For Album Of The Year

The Grammy Award for Album Of The Year is the biggest prize that the Recording Academy hands out every year, and its history is a thorny one. Before Jon Batiste’s random-ass win for for We Are last year, Album Of The Year hadn’t gone to a Black artist since Herbie Hancock in 2008. A rap-adjacent album hasn’t won since Outkast’s Speakerboxxx/The Love Below in 2004. This year, though, tons of A-listers have big albums up for consideration, and there will be a lot of interest around the award.
