The queen of pop broke records – though not for the big gongs, again. But if the Recording Academy has a history of unexpected choices, this year's wins for ...

[Harry Styles](https://www.theguardian.com/music/harry-styles)’s Harry’s House beating Renaissance to album of the year doesn’t feel the same as Beck’s Morning Phase triumphing over [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/13/beyonce-album-first-review) in 2015, nor does it feel the same as if, say, Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres had won this year. [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/beyonce) has only ever won one of them once – song of the year in 2010 for Single Ladies – which seems a fairly inexplicable state of affairs: you don’t need to be a rabid member of the Bey Hive to know that she’s had an immense cultural and commercial impact over the last 20 years. Under the circumstances, Samara Joy – a hugely gifted jazz vocalist, gradually emerging as a significant songwriter as well as an adept interpreter of standards – feels like a worthwhile choice: rooted in tradition, but too soulful to qualify as easy listening. The weirdest success was Bonnie Raitt’s [Just Like That](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skd0XR3twCA) winning song of the year, at least from the perspective of the UK, where the album it’s from didn’t even make the charts. Certainly they’re one of the biggest-selling groups in a field where several of the nominees didn’t even seem particularly new: Molly Tuttle’s first album came out in 2006; Tobe Nwigwe’s first EP six years ago; Muni Long is 34 and released her debut album, albeit under her real name, Priscilla Renea, in 2009. Without wishing to cast shade on those doughtily toiling away in the areas covered by the best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media and best new age ambient or chant album categories, the Grammys are ultimately about four awards: album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist.

Beyonce sits alone atop the Grammy throne as the ceremony's most decorated artist in history, but at the end of Sunday's show it was Harry Styles who walked ...

The actor gave an emotional speech and emphatically said “I just EGOT” after she marched on stage to collect her award. … I would like to thank the culture for allowing me to evolve in order to make this. I wouldn’t be here without her and her support.” Thank you.” She has released two albums as a lead artist and also won the Grammy for best jazz vocal album earlier in the night. A who’s who of hip-hop royalty took the stage for an epic, rousing 15 minute tribute to the genre’s 50th anniversary. Veteran singer-songwriter Bonnie Raitt shrugged off big-name rivals like Adele, Swift and Beyonce to win the song of the year award. The New Yorker was virtually in tears when she collected the award and noted that her little brother was her date. Host Trevor Noah said she was on her way to the ceremony but blamed Los Angeles traffic for not being in person to accept it. “It feels like validation that you’re on the right path,” said the singer backstage. “I’m trying not to be too emotional,” the superstar said after her historic win as her husband Jay-Z stood and applauded her. It feels really nice to feel like `Oh, that’s the right thing to do.”’ The singer thanked her late uncle, her parents, Jay-Z and her children for supporting her.

Beyoncé's Album of the Year loss is part of a long history of the Recording Academy failing to recognize the achievements of Black female musicians.

[an average score of 83 on Metacritic](https://www.metacritic.com/music/harrys-house/harry-styles). Throughout the history of the awards, there have been other upsets with Black women nominated for Album of the Year. The single “Formation” generated controversy because of the song and video’s staunchly anti-police perspective. (Even Adele famously tried to reject her own win over Beyoncé’s Lemonade in 2017.) But the Recording Academy has long ignored Beyoncé when it comes to the Big Four Categories—Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Album of the Year. When Harry Styles was announced as the winner, there was what appeared to be a brief pause before the room erupted into applause. Among those emotions were anger, frustration, and resignation at the Recording Academy’s history of overlooking Black artists, and specifically Black women, in this major category. There was a noticeable hush in the room right after host Trevor Noah announced the nominees for the night’s biggest award. Over on Twitter, meanwhile, things immediately devolved into chaos as critics and fans expressed a range of reactions to the perceived snub for Beyoncé and Renaissance.

That prize went to Harry Styles for his album Harry's House. The fact that Recording Academy voters shut Beyonce out of a major category — and that Styles beat ...

In a controversial upset, Harry Styles won the 2023 Grammy Award for album of the year over Beyoncé. And the BeyHive is not happy about it.

On Sunday, the Grammys are out of excuses.

On music's biggest night, the Grammys, Beyonce won four awards, including best dance/electronic recording for her album 'Renaissance'.

However, the disco movement saw a revival moment in the 2000s and has always influenced pop music. In the mid-70s, disco moved from the underground to the main stage. There was also those who weren’t happy to see a style of music predominantly black and queer conquering the radios back then. The first major house success outside of the US is considered to be Love Can’t Turn Around by Farley “Jackmaster” Funk and Jesse Saunders, which peaked at ten on the UK charts in 1986. Music buffs state that disco was created as a response to the “blues” music that was dominating the radio in America at that time. Nicknamed the “Godfather of House”, Knuckles was also openly gay. Legend has it that the genre was named after “The Warehouse” nightclub in Chicago’s South Side. It’s a well-known fact that disco — and House later on — got its start in queer nightlife. With a heavy mix of bass, saxophones, four-beat kick drums and featured synthesisers, this music’s primary aim was to get people on dance floor. Today’s dance/electronic genre of music has actually been around since the 1970s. While accepting the honour, she thanked the gay community for 'their love and for inventing the genre'. We dive into music history to give you the answers.

Beyonce, who made history for winning maximum Grammys at the prestigious music award show, got late to the event as she was stuck in traffic.

During her acceptance speech, she paid tribute to the queer community. After Beyonce arrived at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, host Trevor Noah acknowledged Beyonce's presence and presented her Grammy trophy to her at her table, where she sat with her husband Jay Z. However, the singer wasn't at the ceremony to receive her award.

It was billed as the shock of the Grammys 2023: Harry Styles took home Album of the Year instead of Beyoncé. But should we be surprised?

This is the fourth Beyoncé album to be snubbed for album of the year at the Grammys, each time she’s been beaten by a white artist: Taylor Swift, Adele, Beck and now Harry Styles. In 66 years of the Grammys, only 15 Black artists have won Album of the Year, ostensibly the top prize at the awards. Black artists are allowed to do well in the R&B, Rap and Reggae categories, maybe sometimes in the pop and vocal performance categories, but the biggest awards seem ring-fenced. Thank you!” He seemed honestly moved and appreciative, and sincerely complimented the rest of the records in his category. He is the absolute prototype for the sort of person this happens to. “This doesn’t happen to people like me very often,” Harry Styles said accepting the Album of the Year award at this year’s Grammys for his excellent Harry’s House.

Beyoncé is now the Recording Academy's GOAT. She won four Grammy awards Sunday night for her album RENAISSANCE — bringing her career total to 32.

Every year, she covers the Oscars and the Grammy awards for NPR, as well as the Sundance Film Festival and other events. He came to NPR in 2021 and is based out of NPR West. A Martínez is one of the hosts of Morning Edition and Up First.

She has appeared in a handful of films including "Dreamgirls." She has twice performed at halftime of the Super Bowl. So thank you so much." "You clearly are the artist of our lives!" "In the fifth grade, I skipped school to see you perform," she said at the podium, speaking directly to a clearly touched Beyonce. And Lizzo, who bested Queen Bey for Record of the Year, delivered a heartfelt tribute to one of her idols, challenging the audience to keep their eyes dry. From setting the standard for the overnight album drop to delivering her earth-shattering "Homecoming" show at Coachella in 2018, Beyonce has long bucked the industry's conventional wisdom, and is simultaneously one of music's most private and most-watched stars. Beyond her music, she is a fashion icon -- she actually was named just that by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2016 -- with her own athleisure line Ivy Park. Her paradigm-shifting 2016 album "Lemonade," which emphasized Black womanhood against the backdrop of America's heritage of slavery and culture of oppression, remains one of the most venerated musical projects in recent memory. She has also never won Record of the Year, despite having the most nods ever for the category, with eight. But to the shock of everyone and the fury of fans on social media, Beyonce - whose tour announcement is virtually guaranteed to trigger a ticketing crash for the ages - missed out on the Album of the Year award. She paid special tribute to the queer community, who she credited with inventing the genre she celebrated in her historically layered record that pays homage to pioneers of funk, soul,

When [Adele](https://www.newyorker.com/tag/adele) won Album of the Year over Beyoncé, in 2017, there was such a sense of cosmic injustice that Adele herself could not bear the result. Like Adele, Lizzo was compelled to use the end of her stage time to state the obvious: “Thank you so much,” she told Beyoncé. Bad Bunny—who won in the Música Urbana Album category but was otherwise snubbed, despite his global dominance—kicked off the show with an electrifying tribute to historical Latin genres, offering up a maximalist version of his merengue-minded single, “Después de la Playa.” It was such a dynamic performance that This was the overt story line of the evening, but the louder subtext was the question of whether the Recording Academy was finally prepared to give Beyoncé the major awards. When the performance wrapped, the cameras found Jay-Z, who was shooting a finger gun in ecstatic celebration. It was the sort of thing that could have come off like a PowerPoint presentation. [Trevor Noah](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/on-television/how-the-daily-show-squandered-the-opportunity-that-was-trevor-noah), worked overtime this year to remind the audience of the Grammys’ respect for her towering greatness, and the historic nature of the evening. [Beyoncé](https://www.newyorker.com/tag/beyonce) found herself once again achieving an awkward status within the universe of the Recording Academy.

Beyoncé lost Album of the Year for Renaissance at the Grammys, for a fourth time, to Harry Styles's album Harry's House. Why did Harry Styles win the top ...

In [the new Songwriter of the Year award](https://www.vulture.com/2022/11/songwriter-of-the-year-grammy-why-it-matters.html), two of the five nominees had cuts on Styles’s album, including the eventual winner, Tobias Jesso Jr. (It’s a little surprising “As It Was” didn’t earn any hardware, but the wins for Harry’s House seem to be recognition of the album as a body of hits.) After the Academy was criticized for giving Jon Batiste’s We Are, an album without a single top-40 hit, AOTY last year, Styles’s project gave them the opportunity to be on the pulse, at no expense of its perspective. [Shania Twain](https://www.vulture.com/2022/04/harry-styles-late-night-talking-boyfriends-shania-twain-coachella.html)) and present ( [Lizzo](https://www.vulture.com/2022/04/harry-styles-lizzo-i-will-survive-coachella-surprise-guest.html)). As it faded out, Styles and his team teed up hits-in-waiting “Late Night Talking” and “Music for A Sushi Restaurant,” both of which hit the top ten. Styles had a hold on the charts as well, with “As It Was” logging a record five separate runs atop the Hot 100, from its No. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, or Lizzo stole votes from her, why didn’t the same happen to Styles with ABBA, Adele, or Coldplay?) It also feels beside the point to argue whether Styles deserved AOTY over Beyoncé — [we’ve done that with her past two snubs for Beyoncé and Lemonade](https://www.vulture.com/2017/02/what-more-does-beyonc-have-to-do-to-win-album-of-the-year.html), and the answer remains a resounding yes. Beyoncé, on the other hand, added a fourth snub for the top honor to her career, this time for [Renaissance](https://www.vulture.com/2022/08/beyonce-renaissance-review.html), a spectacular, holistic project celebrating Blackness and queerness that [many critics](https://www.vulture.com/article/best-albums-2022.html) had already declared the record of 2022. Then when the record came out in May — logging over a half-million units, the second biggest week of the year behind Taylor Swift’s debut for Midnights — Styles hit the road. [took Best New Artist](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/grammys-2023-samara-joy-best-new-artist.html) (the second jazz BNA win in less than 15 years, if you can believe it). [On Sunday evening](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/grammys-2023-recap-best-worst-performances-winners.html), it was a different British pop star who stood between her and her first Grammy for Album of the Year: Harry Styles. Anyone other than Bey winning would’ve been met with some level of vitriol — especially after the Grammys spent the entire night hyping AOTY, and especially after [she became ](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/beyonce-most-grammy-awards-history.html)the winningest artist in the Recording Academy’s history earlier in the ceremony. Styles won on his first AOTY nomination, for his third (solo) album [Harry’s House](https://www.vulture.com/2022/05/harry-styles-harrys-house-album-review.html), a pleasant but too-comfortable set of songs influenced by ‘80s synthpop and classic rock.

Racism, sexism, fuddy-duddyism: They're all reasons why the winningest artist in Grammy history lost album of the year yet again, this time to Harry Styles.

Because she gathers so many collaborators to help execute her plans, voters seem stubbornly unwilling to accept Beyoncé as the auteur in control of her music — a vexing if hardly novel problem running along both race and gender lines. But if she doesn’t need the Grammys, the Grammys need her: Overnight ratings for Sunday’s telecast were up 30% from 2022, a jump attributable at least in part to the suspense surrounding Beyoncé’s opportunity to break the all-time record. Nor do a growing number of intrepid Black artists — Drake, Frank Ocean and the Weeknd among them — who’ve decided the Grammys’ values don’t align with theirs. But “to ensure music creators are voting in the categories in which they are most knowledgeable and qualified,” as the academy rules put it, members can vote on only 10 of the dozens of more specific awards (such as R&B performance), and all 10 of those must be within no more than three genres. After all, Beyonce’s latest loss comes amid a larger historical context, which is that a mere three Black women — Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill — have won album of the year in the Grammys’ 65 years. Lose the trailblazers and you risk losing those who come behind them. All 11,000 or so of the academy’s voting members are allowed to vote in the Grammys’ four general categories of album, record and song of the year and best new artist. This explains the cognitive dissonance stemming from the fact that Beyoncé is both the most-awarded artist in Grammys history and a trendsetter who keeps getting robbed. That’s a clear distortion of Black women’s importance in pop music that undermines the Grammys’ role as a record-keeping enterprise. But with its intricate weave of samples and interpolations, it’s also structurally daring in a way that obviously triggered the academy’s suspicions about “real music” — suspicions foreshadowed in the Grammys’ pretelevised ceremony when Beyoncé’s longtime collaborator In fact, of the 32 Grammys that Beyoncé has collected over the last two decades, only one — one! [Beyoncé lost the award for album of the year](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2023-02-02/grammys-2023-beyonce-renaissance-album-of-the-year) to “Harry’s House” by Harry Styles.

Beyoncé became the Grammys GOAT but Harry Styles pulled off an album of the year win. That means it was more of the same on "music's biggest night."

And while “crowded and unfun” doesn’t have the same ring as “music’s biggest night,” it certainly rings more true. And while many have criticized the Grammys for failing to properly recognize rap music over the years, the show’s organizers tried to make amends by booking a sprawling performance celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop with rap icons LL Cool J and Questlove presiding over a posse cut for the ages — a medley that included Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Too Short, Big Boi, Method Man, Lil Baby, Scarface, Salt N Pepa and many more. So if we take “best” out of the equation, Beyoncé’s consolation prize was “most,” and when she won best electronic/dance album for her gorgeous, disco-infused “Renaissance,” she instantly became the biggest Grammy winner of all time with 32 golden gramophones to her name. As for Styles, his big performance was cluttered with dancers dressed like normies, perhaps to make his tinsel-shag jumpsuit look extra fabulous, but who ultimately made the whole thing feel crowded and unfun. Bad Bunny, whose “Un Verano Sin Ti” was nominated for album of the year, seemed entirely up to the task, opening the show with a blitz of high-spirited merengue rhythms that instantly lifted everyone out of their seats, (including Swift who, at this point, might just attend awards shows for the dancing). “There is no such thing as ‘best’ in music,” Styles said from the stage, cradling his new trophy, exuding a humility that felt as genuine as his statement felt factual.
