How Many Grammys Does Beyoncé Have? She Broke Her Own Record for Most Wins Ever
She broke the record for the most wins in the history of the awards, so how many Grammys does Beyoncé have now?
The pop deity is celebrating the critical and economic success of her latest album Renaissance, which debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard charts—all 16 tracks made it into the Hot 100 when it came out in July 2022. Nearly half of 2023’s leading Grammy nominees are women and more than half are people of color, according to the Recording Academy.
“This makes me feel very proud, but it makes me conscious of the fact that we have to maintain the work we have done,” said Harvey Mason JR., the Recording Academy’s CEO, per AP. “This year, I’m pleased with the result and work the voters did,” he continued. “We have almost 13,000 voters now. It’s really important work. I’m pleased to think they spent the time listening to the music and evaluating. I think you see by the type of nominations that they are not only going for just popular music or music that has a lot of streams. It’s just music of high quality.”
How many Grammys does Beyoncé have?
Beyoncé has 35 Grammy wins to her name and is the most-nominated music act in the history of the Grammys with 99 nominations. She’s the most-awarded artist in Grammy history after winning Best Dance / Electronic Music Album for RENAISSANCE. She overtook the late conductor Georg Solti, who set the record for most Grammy wins in 1997.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional,” the superstar said as her husband Jay-Z stood and applauded her. The singer thanked her late uncle, her parents, Jay-Z and her children for supporting her. “I’m just trying to receive this night. I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, God.”
Only three Black women have ever won Album of the Year—Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill, released in ’91, ’92 and ‘99 respectively. Of Beyoncé’s 32 wins, only one has been in a top category, Song of the Year, which was more than a decade ago when she won as a songwriter for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)”. As the New York Times noted, Bey is “indeed a barometer” of the awards’ “complex” treatment of Black musicians on the whole.
Beyoncé led the 2025 Grammy Awards with 11 nominations for her album Cowboy Carter. She won Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “II Most Wanted” featuring Miley Cyrus, and she won Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter—the first Black woman to win the award in 50 years. She also won Album of the Year.
