As of 15 November 2022, Beyoncé (USA, b. Beyoncé Knowles) had received 88 Grammy nominations: 72 solo, 13 with Destiny’s Child and three with The Carters. The five nods received by her husband, rapper Jay-Z, ahead of the 65th Annual Grammy Awards on 5 February 2023, also took him to 88 nominations and a share of the overall record.


Beyoncé collected 10 nominations in 2010 and nine apiece in 2017, 2021 and 2023. Since picking up her first nominations in 2000 (for Destiny’s Child’s “Bills, Bills, Bills”), she’s been nominated for at least one award every year except for 2003, 2016 and 2022: 2000 (2 nominations, 0 wins); 2001 (5 nominations, 2 wins); 2002 (2 nominations, 1 win); 2003 (0 nominations); 2004 (6 nominations, 5 wins); 2005 (1 nomination, 0 wins); 2006 (6 nominations, 1 win); 2007 (4 nominations, 1 win); 2008 (3 nominations, 0 wins); 2009 (1 nomination, 0 wins); 2010 (10 nominations, 6 wins); 2011 (3 nominations, 0 wins); 2012 (2 nominations, 0 wins); 2013 (1 nomination, 1 win); 2014 (1 nomination, 0 wins); 2015 (6 nominations, 3 wins); 2016 (0 nominations); 2017 (9 nominations, 2 wins); 2018 (1 nomination, 0 wins); 2019 (3 nominations, 1 win); 2020 (4 nominations, 1 win); 2021 (9 nominations, 4 wins); 2022 (0 nominations); 2023 (9 nominations, 4 wins).

Beyoncé’s 10 nods in 2010 matched Lauryn Hill’s 1999 record for the most nominations for a woman in a single year, and her six wins in 2010 set the record for the most wins by a woman in a single year – equalled by Adele in 2012.
