Beyonce has already won two Grammys on Sunday, bringing her a step closer in her pursuit of being the most decorated artist in the show's history. During the Grammys pre-telecast ceremony, Beyonce won for the first time ever in the best dance-electronic music recording category for Break My Soul. She also won for best traditional R and B performance for Plastic Off the Sofa. Beyonce, who now has 30 awards, only needs two more wins to eclipse the record held by the late Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti, who has 31 Grammys. Solti has held on to the record since 1997. It's the first time Beyonc has been nominated in the dance category. Her seventh studio project is up for best dance-electronic music album.
