Beyonce has scooped nine nominations for the 2017 Grammy Awards, extending her lead as the most-nominated woman in Grammys history.<\/p>\n
The star is up for the main prize, album of the year, for her ambitious visual album, Lemonade, which tackles themes of race and female identity.<\/p>\n
Her single Formation is also up for song and record of the year.<\/p>\n
In all three categories, she is up against Adele – who previously won the ceremony’s top three prizes in 2012.<\/p>\n
Beyonce now has 62 Grammy nominations across her work as a solo artist and as part of Destiny’s Child, making her the fourth most-nominated artist ever.<\/p>\n
She has won 20 trophies altogether, although she has yet to clinch the album of the year prize, having been beaten to the title by Beck in 2015 – much to the disgust of Kanye West, who stormed the stage in protest.<\/p>\n
West receives eight nominations this year for his album The Life Of Pablo – all in the rap categories.<\/p>\n
Drake and Rihanna also have eight nominations, including three for their hit collaboration, Work.<\/p>\n
