Beyonce’s “Lemonade” marked a foray into hip-hop, rock and even country as the singer spoke frankly of the struggles of black women while Adele was in the running in five categories for “25,” in which she returned to her massively successful formula of emotional ballads. Chance the Rapper, 23, picked up three prizes including the closely watched Best New Artist for his gospel-infused hip-hop. The Chicago artist benefited from updated rules that consider streaming exclusives.
