Cardi B is keeping her promise of “back-to-back” music releases in 2024.

And though she may already be moving on to the new song ‘Enough (Miami),’ her previous release – the March 1-released ‘Like What (Freestyle)’ – is just seeing its chart narrative start this week to historic measure.

Just two years after Beyonce collected her 28th GRAMMY (making her the most-awarded female act (and singer) in the show’s 65-year history), she stands to leave the 2023 GRAMMY ceremony Sunday (February 5) as its most-awarded act overall.

Be it for the good, bad, ugly, or downright shocking, 2022 was full of memorable moments!

Despite their grievances with the Recording Academy over the years (i.e. JAY-Z‘s unceremonious 0-8 shut out and Beyoncé being snubbed for Album of the Year honors thrice), the Carters’ relationship with the GRAMMYs is nothing short of historic.

It’s been nearly two weeks since the GRAMMYs rocked television screens, but many viewers are still talking about the night’s biggest winner – Jon Batiste.

Walking away with five of the 11 awards he was nominated for (including Album of the Year), Batiste delivered one of the ceremony’s most memorable performances and biggest upsets.

In addition to joining an exclusive club of Black winners of the prestigious honor (only Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill, Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston, Outkast, and Quincy Jones boast ownership of the trophy over the show’s 64 years), Jon made history when sales of his album, ‘We Are,’ soared as a result of winning.

As one of the groundbreaking artists credited with raising the profile of Gospel music to mainstream audiences, CeCe Winans is no stranger to seeing her name aligned with the phrase ‘record breaking.’

The best-selling female Gospel singer of all time, Winans – already the genre’s most decorated GRAMMY-winning singer – entered the show’s 64th annual ceremony Sunday (April 3) up for three more trophies thanks to her 2021 Billboard chart-topping album, ‘Believe For It.’

Sweeping every category she was nominated in, the flawless victory comes as yet another history-making achievement for CeCe.  See how inside:
