It’s been 11 years since Chris Brown won his first and last GRAMMY (Best R&B Album for 2011’s ‘F.A.M.E.’), a status his dedicated fans (affectionately called #TeamBreezy) were certainly hoping would change Sunday night (February 5) when the crooner was listed again in the same category.

This time earning mention for his 2022 effort ‘Breezy,’ the R&B bad boy had stiff competition from the likes of Queen of Hip-Hop Soul Mary J. Blige, Lucky Daye, PJ Morton, and Robert Glasper.

After Glasper was named victor for his critically acclaimed album ‘Black Radio III,’ however, Brown and his fans took to social media to let it be known they weren’t exactly happy about the news.

As far as legendary careers go, few can rival that of Diana Ross.

Beyond breaking down color and cultural barriers in the music industry during the height of her career in the 60’s and 70’s, the legendary diva has sold over 100 million records worldwide thanks to 25 studio albums and the countless hits from them.

Yet, even with six decades of reverence from fans, peers, and major tastemakers alike under her belt, Diana has never secured her industry’s top honor: a competitive GRAMMY.  This despite having collected 13 nominations over the last 50+ years.

And while that seemed poised to change at the award show’s 2023 ceremony, fans of ‘The Boss’ Miss Ross clocked before the show even began that she would go home empty-handed once again.

Hailed as one of the greatest actresses of the 21st century, Viola Davis is no stranger to garnering critical acclaim for her groundbreaking roles on stage, film, and television over the last 35 years.

That acclaim has yielded the 57-year-old no shortage of industry accolades over the years as well, triumphs highlighted by her becoming the first Black actress to obtain the highly coveted Triple Crown of Acting (OSCAR, EMMY, and TONY in competitive categories).

Thanks to securing a GRAMMY nomination at the award show’s 2023 edition, however, Davis also stands a chance to make history by joining an exclusive club of EGOT winners.

It’s been the longest and rockiest road, but this week brought with it a breakthrough for RAYE. For, the gifted singer/songwriter has finally unlocked her debut studio album, ‘My 21st Century Blues.’

Renowned for her guest appearances on the tracks of others, as well as her potent pen game when creating cuts with the likes of Beyonce, the British belle had longed to release a project of her own.

After severing ties with her longtime major label, RAYE set sights on achieving that goal independently and struck gold with her seismic viral smash ‘Escapism.’

An omnipresent chart-topper, the song magnetized a whole new audience and set the firmest of foundations for the rising star to spring from with her eclectic LP.

Speaking on the 13-track set, which also includes songs such as ‘Black Mascara.’ and ‘Hard Out Here.’ RAYE said:

“My 21st Century Blues. My debut album. My ugly complex beautiful mosaic formed from broken pieces of glass from the last 7 years of my life. My medicine, my anxieties and traumas, my unfiltered thoughts. This music accompanied me through my bluest blues, crafted unapologetically and fearlessly with love and tears, and now I can only hope it might provide the same medicine it did for me, for those who choose to listen. I can’t believe it is really happening. My first album.”
