Nothing solidifies an album's legendary status like a nomination for one of the most prestigious awards in music.
One of the most popular albums of recent years, Haim's third studio album, Women in Music Pt. III, landed a nomination for the Album of the Year award at the 2021 Grammy Awards. The trio — sisters Alana Haim, Danielle Haim, andEste Haim— made history with the nomination, becoming the first ever all-female rock group to be up for the award.
"The thing that’s really blowing our minds the most is that we’re three Jews from the valley," Alana told Billboard of hearing the news of the nomination. "I keep refreshing the page being like, 'Is this really our record?'"
“At the end of the day, we’re a rock band, we’re women, and we’ve had to go through a lot of stuff being women in this industry, and it feels good to be a rock band in the [album of the year] category,” she continued. “Everyone that’s nominated in the rock performance category, they’re all women — and it’s about f—ing time.”
Danielle, who co-produced Women in Music Pt. III, alongside Ariel Rechtshaid and Rostam Batmanglij, said that the record was a "labor of love" and that the sisters "put every last ounce of what we had within ourselves into this album."
However, despite the monumental achievement, the album failed to top the charts in the United States. Released on June 26, 2020, it peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard 200. Across the pond, however, the record soared to the top spot upon release and reached No. 1 on the Official UK Albums Chart.
Formed in Los Angeles in 2007, Haim shot to fame in 2013 following the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, Days Are Gone. Prior to their 2020 Album of the Year nomination, the sisters, who have toured with the likes of Taylor Swift and Florence + The Machine, won the NME Award for Best International Band in 2014, and again in 2018.
