R&B superstar Beyoncé, British pop sensation Sam Smith and singer/producer Pharrell Williams topped the Grammy nominations on Friday with six each.

Smith, powered by his smash “Stay With Me,” landed nods in the coveted Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best New Artist categories. Meanwhile, Beyoncé made history by becoming the most Grammy-nominated female artist ever, with nominations including Album of the Year for her self-titled record and Best R&B Song for “Drunk in Love” (featuring her husband Jay Z). Pharrell was rewarded with multiple nominations for his hit “Happy,” and rounded out the best album category along with Ed Sheeran and Beck.

Rapper Iggy Azalea joined Smith on the Best New Artist list and scooped up four nominations of her own: Record of the Year and Pop Duo/Group Performance for the inescapable “Fancy,” and one for Rap Album. Sia’s “Chandelier” also saw four nods for Record, Song, Pop Solo Performance and Music Video. Other artists tied with four nominations include Jay Z, Miranda Lambert, Jack White, Eric Church and Beck.

Elsewhere in pop: Taylor Swift, whose record-breaking “1989” isn’t even eligible this year, scored three nods for Record, Song and Pop Solo Performance for her “sorry, haters” single “Shake It Off.” Meghan Trainor landed three nominations for her body acceptance anthem “All About That Bass”; she’s in the Best New Artist category alongside Smith, Azalea, rock band Bastille and country singer/songwriter Brandy Clark.
