In 2023, Beyoncé made history when she became the most decorated artist in the Grammy story – but her complicated relationship with Recording Academy goes back more than two decades.
At the turn of the millennium, the superstar scored her first set nods as part of Destiny’s Child, after which she continued to rack double-digit winner and even more nominations after her amazing solo debut in 2003. When she made history exactly 20 years later by securing her 32. Victory (for best dance/electronic recording for Billboard Hot 100-topping single “Break My Soul”), she surpassed the late classic conductor Sir Georg Solti’s previous record to become the artist with the most victories of all time.
Still, the title “Grammy Darling” does not quite fit Beyoncé. Despite her staggering race with the awards show, the academy has famously recognized her in her large three categories: albums, record and song of the year. At the time of her historic 32. Victory in 2023, she had ever won in one of these divisions to date, after taking this year’s song in the year over a decade before “Single Ladies” in 2010. But by 2025 the award won , who had avoided her for decades: this year’s album that she claimed with Cowboy Carter. With that honor, the star’s Grammy number is now up to 35.
Despite their complex history, Beyoncé is still one of Recording Academy’s biggest success stories. To celebrate, Billboard Has compiled a complete chronology of each of her Grammy nicks – a list that only seems to be bigger every year, so continue to check each nomination season back for updates.
