Former first lady Michelle Obama has been nominated for a Grammy in the Best Spoken Word Album category for her work on the audiobook of her best-selling memoir โ€œBecoming.โ€

If she wins, this would be Obamaโ€™s first Grammy and her householdโ€™s third. Her husband, former President Barack Obama, won in 2006 and 2008 for the audiobook recordings of his books โ€œDreams of My Fatherโ€ and โ€œThe Audacity of Hope,โ€ respectively.

โ€œBecoming,โ€ released in November 2018, has sold more than 10 million copies.
