| Obama's now Grammy-nominated book, Becoming, is on course to become the best-selling memoir ever, according to publisher Penguin House, having sold in excess of 10 million copies as of March this year |
Former First Lady and best-selling author Michelle Obama has been nominated for a Grammy Award for her 2018 memoir 'Becoming'.
Having already been crowned the 'World's Most Admired Women' in July, securing victory in the Spoken Word category at next year's 61st Annual Grammy Awards would come as the latest accolade to add to the 55-year-old's already expansive resume.
Snagging the nomination for the audiobook version of her memoir, Obama will be up against an eclectic mix of authors and entertainers in the category, which include works of poetry and storytelling, as well as other audiobooks.
Among the fellow nominees are members of the Beastie Boys, actor-director John Waters, poet Sekou Andrews, and musician Eric Alexandrakis. The Spoken Word category has a long history of political winners and nominees, which include Michelle's husband, President Barack Obama, who has twice lifted the trophy both in 2006 and 2008.
Fellow ex-presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton also have three wins between them in the same category. Carter first won in 2007, before securing victory again in 2016 and once more in January this year.
