Grammy nominations special would be big for Beyonce but we had no idea it would be this big. The multi-talented star led all nominees with 10 nominations, including Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year ("Halo") and Song Of the Year ("Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)").

While Bey earned the most nods, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) also honored Maxwell, Kanye West and hip-hop supergroup Black Eyed Peas with six nominations each. Other multiple nominees included Jay-Z and Lady Gaga, who both scored five nods.
