Who has won the most Grammys?
Beyoncé has won the most Grammy Awards of any artist, with more than 30 wins. She passed conductor Georg Solti's record of 31 in 2023.
Beyoncé won her first Grammys with Destiny's Child and has won awards as a solo artist since 2004. She broke Solti's record at the 2023 ceremony, when Renaissance won Best Dance/Electronic Album. In 2025 she won Album of the Year for Cowboy Carter, her first win in that category.
Georg Solti, a Hungarian-born conductor, won 31 Grammys, mostly for classical recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Producer Quincy Jones and singer Alison Krauss are among the other top winners.
Album of the Year record
Taylor Swift holds the record for the most Album of the Year wins, with four: Fearless, 1989, Folklore and Midnights. Before her, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon had each won three times.
Some artists are known for missing out despite huge success. Groups such as Queen and singers such as Diana Ross never won a competitive Grammy, although several received lifetime achievement awards.
