Island Records has emerged as a big winner among record labels with both Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan receiving nominations in all of the Big Four Grammy categories. This achievement is particularly significant considering how rare it is for artists to make such an impact with their initial breakthrough that they can win or even get nominated in the record, song, and album of the year categories.
This year marks just the second time that two artists from the same label have achieved this feat, with the first being Billie Eilish and Lizzo in 2020. With a total of eight nominations between them, Roan and Carpenter have put Island Records at the forefront of the Grammy nominations, a major milestone for the label.
Following closely behind Island is Interscope, which received seven Big Four nominations. Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish, Jacob Collier, Bruno Mars, and Lady Gaga all contributed to Interscope’s success in the nominations.
Other labels like Republic and Columbia also received multiple nominations, with Taylor Swift and Beyoncé leading the way for their respective labels. The Universal Music Group, which is home to Island, Interscope, Republic, and Capitol, dominated the label groups with a total of 20 Big Four nominations.
Overall, the 2025 Grammy nominations showcase a diverse range of artists and labels, highlighting the talent and creativity present in the music industry. Island Records’ success is a testament to their dedication to supporting and promoting exceptional artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan.
