SZA’s latest milestone is nothing short of historic. With the deluxe re‑release of her acclaimed 2022 album SOS, now titled SOS Deluxe: LANA, the artist has become the first musician ever to snag nine Grammy nominations from a single album — setting a new benchmark in awards history.
The additional noms stem from tracks like “30 For 30,” a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar, contending for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and “Crybaby,” which is up for Best Traditional R&B Performance. These join an already impressive roster of nominated songs from the album’s original and earlier deluxe tracks, including “Good Days,” “Kill Bill,” “Ghost in the Machine,” “Love Language,” “Snooze,” “Low,” and “Saturn.”
That nine‑track nomination count eclipses legendary figures in music: for instance, Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER earned seven nods, while albums by giants like Michael Jackson and Santana have never reached that many from a single project.
Beyond the accolades, SZA is wasted no time returning to the studio. In a recent statement she admitted she dove right back into creating new music soon after finishing her tour with Kendrick Lamar — signaling that the next chapter of her sound might arrive sooner than fans expect. With this record‑breaking Grammy momentum — combined with fresh studio time underway — SZA is shaping up to make 2026 her most landmark year yet.
