Beyoncé Passes Dolly Parton to Become Most Grammy Nominated Woman
With 46 nominations each, Dolly Parton was tied with a current pop vocalist for the ‘Queen of Grammy Nominations’ spot. Unfortunately, this year’s nominations placed Dolly Parton in the #2 spot for the female with the highest number of Grammy nominations.
The New Queen of Grammy Nominations
With her most recent, self-titled album, performance artist, Beyoncé, was nominated for a total of 6 Grammy awards for the year. Beyoncé took home 3 wins that night, giving her a total of 20 Grammy wins. So far, Dolly has been nominated for 46 Grammys and won 7 of the categories. We think our Smoky Mountain music star, Dolly Parton, will take back the #1 spot with next year’s Grammy Awards, though!
Dolly Parton Grammy Award Nominations Possible in 2016
Don’t worry, Dolly isn’t going anywhere any time soon! Don’t forget that Dolly just put out her 42nd album, “Blue Smoke,” which stands a great chance at making it into next year’s Grammy nominations. Not many artists can say they’ve had 42 albums, right? So, watch out, Beyoncé, we think Dolly’s going to make a comeback!
If you’ve never heard “Blue Smoke,” it’s a great hit that we expect will do well next year. Check out Dolly’s official lyric video here:
