Beyoncé mengetuai semua nominasi Grammy Awards 2025 dengan 11 pencalonan, manakala Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, dan Post Malone masing-masing meraih tujuh nominasi.
Beyoncé baru sahaja meraih satu lagi pencapaian. Dari segi angka, dia dengan mudah menjadi ratu dalam dunia nominasi Grammy 2025, dengan meraih 11 pencalonan untuk albumnya “Cowboy Carter” dan single-singlenya. Ini adalah pencapaian peribadi tertingginya, mengatasi 10 pencalonan yang diterimanya pada tahun 2009.
Chappel Roan yang sedang naik dan Sabrina Carpenter juga mempunyai pencapaian istimewa kerana masing-masing dicalonkan untuk Artis Baru Terbaik, yang bermakna mereka turut bersaing dalam keempat-empat kategori utama yang terbuka kepada artis rakaman dari pelbagai genre. Jika sama ada Sabrina Carpenter atau Chappel Roan berjaya menjadi cukup popular untuk memenangi Artis Baru Terbaik serta ketiga-tiga kategori Rekod, Lagu, dan Album Terbaik Tahun Ini, mereka akan menjadi yang pertama melakukannya sejak Billie Eilish melakukannya pada tahun 2020.
Tiga artis lain juga menerima pencalonan dalam dua daripada tiga kategori utama dan mengumpul jumlah pencalonan yang signifikan, Charli XCX, Post Malone, dan Kendrick Lamar. Mengikut nombor pencalonan terbanyak, selepas Beyoncé dengan 11 pencalonan, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Post Malone, dan Charli XCX kini terikat di tempat kedua dengan tujuh pencalonan masing-masing. Tidak jauh di belakang dengan enam pencalonan setiap seorang adalah Taylor Swift, Chappel Roan, dan Sabrina Carpenter.
