Beyonce predictably ranks as the most-nominated artist for the 59th Annual Grammy Awards.

Beyonce, who earned critical raves and commercial success for her “Lemonade” album, leads the field with nine nominations. That list of nine includes three “Big Four” awards — album of the year, song of the year, and record of the year.

With eight nominations each, Drake, Rihanna, and Kanye West tie for second place. Drake is competing for Album Of The Year, while Drake is nominated as a featured artist on Rihanna’s Record Of The Year candidate “Work.”

Chance The Rapper takes fifth place with 7 total nominations, including a Best New Artist look.

The Recording Academy recently posted the full list of nominations for this year’s show.
