Beyonce wins 2 Grammys, with 3 more nominations including best album

Beyonce was an early winner at the Grammys — not for singing, but for producing.

Her self-titled album won best surround sound album, an award for an album’s surround mastering and mix engineers as well as surround producer.

The release of Beyonce’s latest album was an innovative, fresh and risky approach to an album launch in an ever-changing industry suffering from lower album sales, yet continuously growing in the streaming business.

The singer, who is the most nominated female in Grammy history, could continue with history-making moments at Sunday’s awards show, where ‘‘Beyonce’’ is nominated for album of the year.
