With 35 golden gramophones to her credit, the most decorated musician in Grammy Awards history is none other than Beyoncé.
Queen Bey surpassed the late orchestra conductor Georg Solti, who held the record with 31 wins until he was dethroned in 2023.
Other artists like Stevie Wonder and Kanye West have also racked up those trademark trophies.
Here are the other top 10 nonclassical winners of music’s biggest night.
1. Beyoncé: 35
Yes, she made history at Grammys 2021: With nine nominations — and three wins — at the ceremony, she became the most decorated woman in Grammys history.
Then in 2023, Beyoncé did it again, becoming the most nominated artist in Grammy history with 99 nominations and dethroning Georg Solti.
The singer, 44, first received Grammy love as a member of Destiny’s Child, winning two awards for their No. 1 smash “Say My Name” in 2001. Since then, Grammy has said her name 35 more times, including five wins with husband Jay-Z — for their hit singles “Crazy in Love” and “Drunk in Love,” plus their joint album “Everything Is Love.”
Kanye West, Beyoncé and Stevie Wonder are among Grammy’s top award winners. FilmMagicAnd in 2025, Beyoncé finally scored the Grammy for Album of the Year for “Cowboy Carter.”
1. Quincy Jones: 28
Beyoncé broke her tie with one of the music industry’s most iconic and respected figures after her 2023 win.
Not only was Jones, who died at age 91 in 2024, a part of Michael Jackson’s historic “Thriller” sweep in 1984 as producer of that classic LP, he also won Album of the Year for his own “Back on the Block” in 1991. Right behind Solti on the all-time list, Q first triumphed for Best Instrumental Arrangement (of the Count Basie Orchestra’s “I Can’t Stop Loving You”) in 1964.
3. Alison Krauss: 27
The bluegrass queen, 54, has tasted victory both on her own and with her group Union Station. But her biggest wins came with Robert Plant in 2009, when the unlikely pair won Album of the Year (“Raising Sand”) and Record of the Year (“Please Read the Letter”).
3. Chick Corea: 27
This late jazz pianist won Grammys in every decade since the ’70s, starting in 1976 (Best Jazz Performance by a Group for “No Mystery,” with Return to Forever) and most recently in 2022 (Best Improvised Jazz Solo for “Humpty Dumpty” and Best Latin Jazz Album for “Mirror Mirror”). It’s no wonder Corea, who died in February 2021 at 79, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
5. Stevie Wonder: 25
This R&B icon, 75, holds the distinction of winning Album of the Year three times — a record he shares with Frank Sinatra and Paul Simon. He triumphed for three consecutive LPs: 1973’s “Innervisions,” 1974’s “Fulfillingness’ First Finale” and 1976’s “Songs in the Key of Life.”
5. John Williams: 26
The legendary film composer, 93, has a record breaking amount of Oscar nominations with a whopping 54. But while he’s only taken home five Academy Awards, he’s won nearly five times as much at the Grammys. He won his 26th Grammy in 2024 for Best Instrumental Composition for “Helena’s Theme” from “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.”
7. Jay-Z: 25
Beyoncé’s hubby is a big-time Grammy boss, too, with the lion’s share of his hardware coming in the rap categories — his first being for Best Rap Album (“Vol. 2 … Hard Knock Life”) back in 1999. But the 56-year-old has never won any awards in the Big Four fields (Album, Record and Song of the Year, plus Best New Artist).
7. Kanye West: 24
Despite three consecutive Album of the Year nominations (for 2004’s “The College Dropout,” 2005’s “Late Registration” and 2007’s “Graduation”), Yeezy, 48, has never copped that coveted prize. Still, he has been able to console himself with 22 other gramophones, most recently winning for Best Melodic Rap Performance and Best Rap Song in 2022.
The artist made waves at the 2025 Grammys when his wife, Bianca Censori, took off her fur coat in front of photographers to reveal a sheer, barely-there minidress without a bra or underwear.
9. U2: 22
Bono, 65, and company have won the prestigious Album of the Year twice — first for their 1987 classic “The Joshua Tree” and then for 2004’s “How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.” But they’ve also claimed victories twice in two other Big Four categories: Record of the Year (“Beautiful Day,” “Walk On”) and Song of the Year (“Beautiful Day,” “Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own”).
9. Vince Gill: 22
Starting with his 1990 victory for Best Country Vocal Performance, Male (for “When I Call Your Name”), the singer-guitarist, 65, has come up big in the country categories over the years. His last win came in 2021 for Best Country Solo Performance (“When Amy Prays”).
