House music has a strong presence in the Grammy nominations this year and the original creators in this historically underground genre are not mad about it.

House music, it’s a very positive music and I don’t want to hold it in in the underground.” I would like to see the same thing for house music, see some of the originators receiving lifetime recognition. “It’s hard for the Grammys to give awards to the underbelly of clubland.

The Diplos of the world and his ilk are easy to find. [Grammys](https://variety.com/t/grammys/) for bringing the sounds of underground clubs and warehouses to the world stage. In the 25 years the award has been given (with fluctuating names), over 50% of the time it has been a pop star that has walked off with it, slimming down the chances of a true dance/electronic artist winning. The Recording Academy acknowledgement of dance music as a legitimate genre deserving of its own categories took a long time. Its appeal is universal, but it takes a Beyoncé to spoon-feed it the masses. Stingily agrees, “As far as I can tell Beyoncé is a supporter and a fan of house music. “Not because of Beyoncé, but because of everyone who has touched the album who is deserving of recognition: Kevin Aviance, Honey Dijon, Luke Solomon. The remix nominations of the former two, from Purple Disco Machine and Terry Hunter, push the originals further into house territory.

The Weeknd, whose album Dawn FM would have been eligible, has not submitted his work for Grammy consideration since his massively successful album and single, After Hours and “Blinding Lights,” were not nominated at the 2021 ceremony.

Smart, funny, joyful, passionate and so, so pleasurable, “Renaissance” is already the album of the year. “Seeing Beyoncé up there onstage holding that trophy — I do think that would help with the perception problem,” says Runcie. For one thing, the Recording Academy has never shown much love toward dance music in the major Grammy categories; its electorate of more than 11,000 music professionals contains plenty of players and engineers with a vested interest in preserving the practice of recording “real” instruments in carefully maintained physical spaces. As an institution, the Grammys have also proven suspicious of the kind of highly collaborative record-making involved in “Renaissance,” whose credited writers, producers and performers run into the several dozens. No Black woman has taken album of the year since Lauryn Hill in 1999 with “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”; only two other Black women, Whitney Houston and Natalie Cole, have won the category in the Grammys’ 65-year history, an absurd distortion of their importance to the entire realm of pop music. Still, it’s not just critics banging the drum for Beyoncé; an informal poll of Grammy voters and industry execs showed widespread support for “Renaissance” to win album of the year. But the way “Renaissance” coheres, with its intricate transitions and clever callbacks, is the real wonder to behold; it’s by far the most album-y of the 10 LPs competing for album of the year.

(You’ll remember “Lemonade’s” defeat, when Adele used her acceptance speech to say she shouldn’t have won.) Indeed, Beyoncé’s dozens of wins at the Grammys threaten to obscure the fact that pop’s most ambitious superstar keeps coming up empty in the ceremony’s top general categories; all but one of her 28 victories — for song of the year, which she took in 2010 as a writer of “ The formula for success in album of the year, which despite the fragmentation brought on by digital streaming is still the Grammys’ equivalent of best picture, has always been a shifting mixture of commercial might, critical acclaim and cultural impact.

As a songwriter, The-Dream doesn’t control when artists release the songs he has helped pen — the timing is serendipitous, or “like lightning in a bottle,” as he puts it. For the album’s focal point, “Break My Soul,” The-Dream and Tricky teamed up to sketch out the single and then took it to Beyoncé, who “transformed it” into a No. “Dream and Bey’s closeness and attention to detail got us to a place with that song that we couldn’t have gotten [to] without that bond.” (“Both Bey and I are Virgos,” The-Dream jokes, alluding to the astrological sign’s association with perfectionism.) This isn’t meant as shade, I’m just curious.” The-Dream replied in defense, schooling Warren with an explanation of sampling, its ties to Black culture and the lack of economic resources for Black musicians. Following a tumultuous global period, he says, “It doesn’t matter who you are, we all know we were hurting,” and that the bounce, funk, house and all-around maximalist dance of Renaissance was intended as collective therapy. There’s an invisible throughline, he explains, between the ethos of a master builder, that of an artistic genius like da Vinci, and that of a songwriter like himself. “When we look back on the first 25 years of this millennium, I know his songs are going to be the ones people talk about.” “We had no idea what was happening at the time,” The-Dream says of growing up during the popularization of Atlanta’s music scene in the 1990s, when Southern rap reached the mainstream and acts like TLC and Usher took over pop.

When asked what he likes to draw most, he shrugs and thinks back to his overall creative approach: “I feel like I’m better when I have an assignment.” “I think he has an unmatched ability to figure out a unique lyrical perspective that can make an artist not only have a hit song, but a song that defines culture and the artist’s career.

That blockbuster performance was later released as the “Homecoming” album and — via a It was an elaborate and highly theatrical performance — for which sources say she was paid some $24 million — with an all-female orchestra, a battery of dancers, a small lake, fireworks, a 50-foot hydraulic platform, three costume changes for the singer and a guest appearance from her and Jay’s daughter Blue Ivy, but no songs at all from “Renaissance” — a tease that could mean she’ll premiere one or two on the Grammys, or even save them for the tour.

For years, fans have bought "speculative tickets" from resellers, who list tickets they don't actually own yet on resale sites. By Ethan Millman ...

VividSeats’ terms and conditions states that speculative ticketing isn’t permitted on its platform except for members of its “Zone Sales Program.” When asked about its Zone Sales program, VividSeats referred to it as a way for fans to “pre-order hard-to-find tickets.” Only “pre-approved sellers who have a track record of delivering value for fans” are allowed in the Zone Program, VividSeats said. ”It is an invaluable option for fans who want to be certain that they will have tickets to a high-demand event, and to be able to do so in an easy and convenient way.” SeatGeek states in its terms of service that “professional sellers” may be permitted to list speculative tickets for some events, but declined to comment further on the practice beyond their terms of service when contacted by Rolling Stone. Other times, scalpers are listing tickets they have no claim to — typically at a marked-up price when the event is in high demand — looking for a fan to buy the speculative listing while they get the actual ticket and pocket the difference. “As policymakers around the country consider ways to enhance competition and guarantee consumer protections for fans, it’s critical to note that an industry-wide open and integrated ticketing system would allow all ticket marketplaces to better regulate this practice.” Those tickets are sometimes listed on some platforms as “zone seats” where the actual seat number isn’t listed, which gives the sellers more leeway to find tickets for the buyer in the general area they selected. For some events, someone may have season tickets at a venue that could guarantee them access to a sporting event or concert, and they can sell tickets prior to an on-sale period knowing they’ll eventually own their ticket and can transfer it to another buyer. SeatGeek and VividSeats specify that only pre-approved sellers are allowed to list speculative tickets on their sites. It isn’t often easy for a regular consumer to tell when a speculative seller has access to season tickets versus when they’re selling tickets they haven’t secured yet. From a company-facing point of view, Berchtold worries that speculative ticketing pushes the false notion that resellers listing speculative seats already got tickets in advance, which causes more vitriol toward As of publication, some of the best seats for Beyoncé’s So-Fi Stadium show in Los Angeles in September are speculatively selling for $3,064 per ticket on VividSeats. Such a practice isn’t new, nor is it in any way unique to Queen Bey.

The superstar -- who has been making good on a vow to re-record her first six albums to gain control of her rights to them -- has a chance at the prestigious award celebrating songwriters for her 10-minute version of "All Too Well." After wowing audiences with a show-stopping performance at the 2019 Grammys, the big-voiced Carlile will take the stage once more as she competes in the top categories as well as for roots and Americana honors. It's the first time an all Spanish-language album has a chance at that coveted award, and it's the first time the Puerto Rican reggaeton megastar has landed a solo nomination in the major Grammy categories. This year, Billboard predicts the Beyhive will rejoice over a best album win for their Queen, while the industry tracker thinks Adele has the top shot at best record -- the award for overall performance of a song -- for her single "Easy On Me." Music's biggest night follows a year of blockbuster albums, including Beyonce's "Renaissance" -- a pulsating collecting of club tracks -- and Adele's introspective ode to the ugly cry, "30." Los Angeles (AFP) – The brightest stars in pop music will vie for the industry's top awards at the Grammys in Los Angeles on Sunday, with a Beyonce-Adele rematch set to take center stage.

A source told us at the time that the 28-time Grammy winner was booking stadiums around the world for her first tour since her and her husband Jay-Z’s “On the Run II” shows in 2018. The 41-year-old icon and mother of three made the world tour announcement via Instagram on Wednesday. “With a world tour comes a whole new staff and that includes the dancers, bandmates and backup singers. “Her last tour was the ‘On The Run Tour II’ back in 2018 with Jay-Z. “She is looking for young women and men — and also a few new band members as well — to take on the new positions on her team.” It’s out with the old and in with the new,” pointed out one insider.

Demand is expected to be high to see the singer take her acclaimed Renaissance album on the road.

for so many people it will be the only chance to see her, when she comes locally." We're doing everything we can behind the scenes to help keep the app running smoothly.— O2 (@O2) "And it completely crashed. "Tickets are selling and we're seeing huge demand. "To have got through, to have got to the front of the queue, to have got the tickets, it's just so amazing." Hey Beyoncé girl, please don’t forget you told us to quit our jobs on that album. Not too much on those prices please and thanks miss mamas! Under usual circumstances, only 10-20% of tickets are reserved for pre-sales in the UK - and there are three such events before the Renaissance tour officially opens up to the public next week. I have had two friends who have got to this page and they have been kicked out of the queue." Tickets are selling and we're seeing huge demand. In a statement, the company apologised "to anyone experiencing difficulties". Beyoncé fans have joined the rush to get tickets for her first solo tour for seven years, as the first pre-sale opened for her UK dates.

Five Grammy voters tell Variety why they did or didn't vote for Harry Styles, Beyoncé, Adele, Lizzo, Steve Lacy and others in the top four categories.

I listened to songs from all of them and I liked Måneskin the best. Song of the year: “The Steve Lacy song for sure. I listened to Kendrick much more than the others, yet it didn’t have a standout song and I don’t feel it had the cultural impact that album of the year deserves.” If I had to listen to one of the songs forever, it would be that one. Song of the year: “’All Too Well (Taylor’s Version).’ That song is awesome, and my focus was on the lyrics. Album of the year: “‘Harry’s House.’ Did I personally listen to it a ton? I loved the Brandi Carlile track, but I didn’t think it was record of the year. Song of the year: “‘As It Was’ — regardless of the visuals, regardless of his audience, regardless of any of it, it’s a good song. Record of the year: “ ‘As It Was’ is the most culturally impactful and representative of what our generation consumes — a perfectly well-formed pop song. ‘Bad Habit’ is a good song, but I don’t think that was song of the year. Best new artist: “Some of them I didn’t know, which I think is probably true of a lot of people. I don’t know who that record is for — I don’t think 12-year-olds want to hear Chris Martin, and I definitely don’t think Coldplay fans want to hear BTS and Selena Gomez.”
