Beyonce Makes Grammys History

12/08/2014
. (Radio.com) Last year Beyonce slid past the GRAMMY nominations, releasing her self-titled opus after the cutoff date. But this year, the artist is getting her due. With the nominations that have been released so far, the singer has just become the most-nominated female artist at the GRAMMYs in history, surpassing Dolly Parton--and there's still a chance that she'll add more tallies to her title before the day is over.

It only took one nomination for Beyonce to outnumber Parton, doing so in the Best Urban Contemporary Album category. Up until Friday's announcement, the two had been tied.

Last GRAMMY season, Beyonce tied with Dolly Parton's 46 nominations when she was up for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration with her feature on Jay Z's "Part II (On the Run)."

Parton's GRAMMY streak started back in 1970 when she was nominated for Best Country Vocal Performance By a Duo or Group with the Porter Wagoner-assisted "Just Someone I Used to Know." She kept racking in the nominations until she finally won her first GRAMMY in 1979 for Best Country Vocal Performance in the female category with "Higher & Higher."
