The Beatles' Now and Then Nominated for Grammy

The Beatles have received two Grammy nominations for their song 'Now and Then,' nearly 50 years after the band's breakup, marking the longest span between nominations for any artist. The song, which was released in November 2023, was finalized using AI technology to enhance a demo recorded by John Lennon in the late 1970s. Fans have expressed mixed reactions, particularly regarding the omission of Lennon and George Harrison from the official nomination due to Grammy eligibility rules. The use of AI in the song's production has sparked debate within the music community, with some praising the technology while others criticize its implications for artistry. The 67th Grammy Awards, where the Beatles will compete against contemporary artists like Beyoncé and Billie Eilish, will take place on February 2, 2025. If they win, it would be their first victory in the Record of the Year category despite multiple past nominations.
