Winningest pop star of the 21st century? It's gotta be Beyoncé. With a total of 99 (!!) Grammy nominations under her belt, the star continues to break records and currently holds the title of the most-nominated (and most-awarded!) artist in Grammys history. However, the coveted Album of the Year award always evaded her...until last year.
After five AOTY nominations, Bey *finally* took home Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammys for Cowboy Carter, and tbh, it was well, well deserved. She may not be up for anything at the 2026 Grammys—but if you need a quick refresher on Beyoncé’s 34 other wins over the years, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s get into it.
