Congratulations to all of the ASCAP creators who are up for awards this year—your talent, dedication, and passion for music inspire us all.
The nominees are out for the 67th annual Grammy Awards, and the ASCAP family is representing across the genre spectrum!
Queen Beyoncé leads the entire pack with 11 nominations, bringing her career tally to 99 total Grammy noms (she is already the most decorated person in Grammy history). Pop phenoms Chappell Roan and Charli XCX both earned seven; Roan achieved that rarest of feats, earning nominations in all four big categories (Record, Album and Song of the Year, plus Best New Artist). Super-producers Jack Antonoff and Dan Nigro, and country trailblazer Shaboozey got five apiece.
We are overjoyed to see ASCAP songwriting greats Jessi Alexander and Amy Allen both up for Songwriter of the Year, and Mustard and Dan Nigro nominated for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical – all of their work has been in constant rotation at ASCAP HQ over the past year. And what a treat to see ASCAP Board member Jon Batiste up for two nominations, for his work on American Symphony.
See below for a preliminary list of the ASCAP family we’ll be rooting for at the 67th annual Grammys on Sunday, February 2.Please note that this list is not complete – we’ll add more categories as we confirm the research.
