One name now towers above every conductor, producer, and rock legend. The most Grammy awards won by an artist belongs to Beyoncé with 35 competitive wins as of the 2025 ceremony per Recording Academy totals.

She broke Georg Solti's 31-win mark in 2023 and added three more at the 2025 Grammys, including Album Of The Year. That climb defines the modern most Grammy awards won by an artist leaderboard.

Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti held the individual record for decades with 31 opera and classical Grammys. His Chicago Symphony era anchored trivia answers before Beyoncé rewrote the most Grammy awards won by an artist list.

Quincy Jones and Chick Corea tie at 28 wins; Alison Krauss leads country women with 27. Genre specialists prove the most Grammy awards won by an artist is not only a pop-star statistic on the Academy ledger.

Irish rock band U2 holds 22 competitive Grammys — the most by any group in Academy history. Group totals sit beside, not inside, the individual most Grammy awards won by an artist crown Beyoncé now wears.
