When it comes to the Grammy Awards - music's most prestigious honors - one artist stands head and shoulders above the rest. With a record‑breaking total of 35 Grammy wins, Beyoncé currently holds the all‑time lead for the most Grammy trophies ever received by a musician.

Beyoncé's remarkable haul spans genres and decades, from R&B and pop to dance and country. Her wins include multiple awards across major categories such as Best R&B Album and Best Dance/Electronic Album. Her 2025 victory for Cowboy Carter - which won Album of the Year and Best Country Album - further solidified her position as the top Grammy winner in history.

Behind her on the all‑time list is classical conductor Sir Georg Solti, with 31 Grammys, followed by music industry legend Quincy Jones with 28. Other notable multiple‑award winners include jazz great Alison Krauss, soul icon Stevie Wonder, and contemporary artists such as Kendrick Lamar, who has amassed 22 Grammy wins and continues to be a major presence at the annual awards.

As the 2026 Grammy Awards approach - with nominees like Kendrick Lamar leading in nominations - the legacy of these top winners continues to shape music history.
