If Beyoncé were to win, it would not only be the first time she took home Album of the Year, but it would also be just her second Grammy in the General Field, the first being the Song of The Year award she claimed for “Single Ladies.” However, she left the Grammys without Song, Record, or Album of the Year. 1 as a solo artist since 2008’s “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).” Renaissance was also named Album of the Year by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Vulture, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, NPR, The Guardian, Entertainment Weeklyand more. It was her first solo top ten single since 2016’s “Formation” and her first Hot 100 No. Renaissance gave Bey her first top-ten single in the United States (“Break My Soul”) since she jumped on Megan Thee Stallion‘s “Savage” Remix. Heading into the 2023 ceremony, put their votes behind Beyonce. Stevie Wonder would become the first Black artist to win Album of the Year, taking the prize in 1974 for Innervisions. Frank Sinatra won the following year for Come Dance with Me! with Bob Newhart‘s The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart. Henry Mancini claimed the first Album of the Year award in 1959 for The Music from Peter Gunn. Jon Batiste claimed the top prize in 2022, the first time a Black artist won Album of the Year since 2008 when Herbie Hancock won for River: The Joni Letters, a Joni Mitchell album (arguably, Herbie should have won for 1973’s Headhunters considering the album’s lasting legacy, but both the album and Herbie weren’t nominated.)

Some might also point out that in the 65-year history of the Grammys, only 11 Black artists have taken home Album of the Year. The Grammys, after all, have had an issue with awarding the top prize ( Blood, Sweat & Tears’ self-titled album is good, but over The Beatles‘ Abbey Road in 1970? Really?) In the past two to three decades, some might argue that the Recording Academy got it wrong.
