The streaming service formerly known as Apple TV+ has been a groundbreaker in the industry, setting records for Emmy nominations and wins and achieving the first Best Picture Oscar for a non-traditional studio. Now, Apple is poised to receive Grammy Award nominations for two of its top original productions: F1: The Movie and Severance. Out of the four nominations, three are for music featured in Apple's hit Formula 1 racing film. The fourth nomination recognizes the overall soundtrack for season 2 of Apple's sci-fi series, Severance. The 68th Annual Grammy Awards are scheduled for February 1, 2026, and while being nominated is an honor in itself, Apple will face tough competition from artists like Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez, Tyler Childers, and Shaboozey. Key categories where songs from F1 are nominated include Best Dance Pop Recording for Tate McRae's "Just Keep Watching" and Best Country Solo Performance for Chris Stapleton's "Bad As I Used to Be." The complete soundtrack is also nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media. In the Best Dance Pop Recording category, Apple will compete with songs like "Bluest Flame" by Selena Gomez & benny blanco, "Abracadabra" by Lady Gaga, "Midnight Sun" by Zara Larsson, and "Illegal" by PinkPantheress. For Best Country Solo Performance, other contenders include songs like "Nose on the Grindstone" by Tyler Childers, Shaboozey's "Good News," Zach Top's "I Never Lie," and "Somewhere Over Laredo" by Lainey Wilson. Other nominees in the Best Compilation Soundtrack category include A Complete Unknown, KPop Demon Hunters, Sinners, and Wicked. On the other hand, Severance stands out as the only TV series nominated alongside four feature films for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media: How to Train Your Dragon, Sinners, Wicked, and The Wild Robot. You can view the complete list of nominees on the 2026 Grammy Awards website. Apple's Legacy of Recognition For Apple, these nominations not only acknowledge their productions but also continue their strong ties to the music industry. In a noteworthy turn of events, this isn't the first time Apple has been acknowledged by the Recording Academy. In 2002, Apple was honored with a Technical Grammy Award for its exceptional contributions to the music industry and recording field. Ten years later, Steve Jobs, Apple's iconic co-founder and CEO, posthumously received a Trustees Award for his pivotal role in music-related innovations such as iTunes, the iPod, and iPhone. Eddy Cue, a long-time Apple executive, accepted the award on Jobs' behalf. If Apple secures a win next year, it will mark their first Grammy award for a musical piece — a parallel to their journey to the Emmys, starting with Outstanding Commercial Awards and technical recognition before dominating the Primetime Emmys with shows like Ted Lasso and The Studio. Even a single win for F1 could propel Apple further into blockbuster releases, showcasing their evolving entertainment ambitions.
