In 2023, Beyoncé achieved a monumental milestone by becoming the most decorated artist in Grammy history. However, her intricate relationship with the Recording Academy has been a complex saga stretching over two decades, filled with both triumphs and challenges that reflect her evolving artistry and the industry’s shifting dynamics.
At the start of the new millennium, the iconic superstar earned her initial nominations as part of Destiny’s Child. Following that, she embarked on a remarkable journey, accumulating numerous awards and accolades, particularly after her stunning solo debut in 2003. Two decades later, she made history by securing her 32nd win at the Grammys for the best dance/electronic recording with her chart-topping single, “Break My Soul.” This victory surpassed the previous record held by the late classical conductor Sir Georg Solti, establishing her as the artist with the highest number of Grammy wins to date.
Despite her extraordinary accomplishments, the label of “Grammy darling” does not seem to apply to Beyoncé. Even with her impressive track record at the award show, the Recording Academy has notably overlooked her in major categories such as Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year. At the time of her groundbreaking 32nd win in 2023, she had only captured one award in these prestigious divisions, specifically winning Song of the Year for “Single Ladies” in 2010, highlighting a curious disparity between her acclaim and recognition.
Regardless of this dynamic, Beyoncé stands as one of the most significant success stories of the Recording Academy. To honor her remarkable journey, Billboard has curated a comprehensive timeline detailing each of her Grammy nominations—a list that continues to expand with each passing year. Fans are encouraged to return each nomination season to see the latest updates on her accolades.
From the year 2000 to the present, you can explore every time Beyoncé has been nominated for a coveted Grammy Award. This timeline includes whether she won or not, showcasing her illustrious career in the music industry and her continuous impact on the music scene.
