After the 2023 GRAMMY Awards, Beyoncé is now the most awarded artist in the Recording Academy's history! Here's a breakdown of all her wins over the years.

For almost as long as the 50 years of history celebrated on Sunday's Grammy awards, rap artists have had an uncomfortable relationship with the music's ...

In accepting a Grammy for her duet on Sam Smith's “Unholy,” Kim Petras proudly took note of her status as a transgender woman and paid tribute to heroes like the late transgender singer Sophie and Madonna. “I felt on the outside looking in and I stayed true to myself because I wanted to make the world a better place,” Lizzo said. At least the outgoing talk show host noted the incongruity of him giving an award for dance and electronic music. The Rock as one of the Grammy presenters? OK, while he was performing “As it Was” Styles was dressed a little like one of those holiday tinsel decorations you thought you'd put away. The 73-year-old guitarist won best song for “Just Like That,” a piece inspired by a story of a heart transplant, where she tried to emulate the writing style of the late John Prine. Show host Trevor Noah skillfully played the role of a fan, instead of serving snark from the stage, moving through the audience “like a floating Chinese balloon,” he said. Later, he marveled at the quality of the competition and how hard it is to pick a winner. Beyoncé has won only one of those awards, when “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” was named top song in 2010. She's been nominated eight times for record of the year, and never won. It was a night it seemed the Grammys finally accepted rap as music's dominant form. It was only four years ago that song of the year winner Childish Gambino boycotted the show over perceived disrespect for rap.

Beyoncé once again released one of the best albums of all time last year. Yes, she set a Grammys record, but the Academy is still ignoring her impact.

And while she [set a Grammys record, winning more lifetime trophies than any other performer, ](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2023/02/05/beyonce-breaks-grammy-record-most-wins-ever/11172776002/)the Recording Academy is still ignoring her impact. It's embarrassing that the industry still isn't properly recognizing her for it. Important moments for diverse artists included Kim Petras becoming what is believed to be the first openly transgender artist to win a Grammy, Dr. Harry Styles, who took home the album of the year trophy, said in his acceptance speech that "there is no such thing as best." during Sunday's show exemplifies a frustrating pattern: Grammy voters talking a big game about recognizing Black artists' impact, but failing to back it up with concrete support. Even Adele felt the need to apologize when her album "25" beat Beyoncé's "Lemonade" at the 2017 Grammys.

Taylor Swift's tour tickets were 483% over-subscribed to Beyonce's more than 800%. What could go right?

The plaintiffs accused Ticketmaster’s parent of “anticompetitive conduct and fraud,” according to the Times. “Artists always set the price and Ticketmaster’s role in the industry is to get the bad press and to be the fall guy.” They fear that will be the case as long as Live Nation remains both the dominant concert promoter and ticket platform in the U.S.,” noted At the hearing, “lawmakers from both parties, smaller entertainment company executives and a musician spoke about how the lack of competition in the ticketing industry hurts artists as well as fans. There will be many disappointed fans because “demand drastically exceeds supply,” according to Ticketmaster’s blog. “Because the number of verified fans will exceed the number of available tickets, there will be disappointed people. “Due to extraordinarily high demands on ticketing systems and insufficient remaining ticket inventory to meet that demand,” Ticketmaster announced. That decision really is in the hands of the DOJ Antitrust division which has launched its own investigation,” said Ederer. The hearings focused both on the lack of reliability and service quality which were at the forefront of the Taylor Swift sales fiasco, and on the exorbitant fees (and lack of transparency surrounding them) charged to consumers.” Another industry expert — David Herlihy, a Full Teaching Professor at Northeastern and coordinator of its Music Industry program, told me, “Those hearings are only grandstanding by politicians to engage in sound bites for the evening news. She had no choice because Ticketmaster is owned by Live Nation which runs the venues where she wants to perform. The outcome of the ticketing process could determine whether Ticketmaster can avoid government intervention.

[Harry Styles](https://www.theguardian.com/music/harry-styles)’s Harry’s House beating Renaissance to album of the year doesn’t feel the same as Beck’s Morning Phase triumphing over [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/13/beyonce-album-first-review) in 2015, nor does it feel the same as if, say, Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres had won this year. [Beyoncé](https://www.theguardian.com/music/beyonce) has only ever won one of them once – song of the year in 2010 for Single Ladies – which seems a fairly inexplicable state of affairs: you don’t need to be a rabid member of the Bey Hive to know that she’s had an immense cultural and commercial impact over the last 20 years. Under the circumstances, Samara Joy – a hugely gifted jazz vocalist, gradually emerging as a significant songwriter as well as an adept interpreter of standards – feels like a worthwhile choice: rooted in tradition, but too soulful to qualify as easy listening. The weirdest success was Bonnie Raitt’s [Just Like That](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skd0XR3twCA) winning song of the year, at least from the perspective of the UK, where the album it’s from didn’t even make the charts. Certainly they’re one of the biggest-selling groups in a field where several of the nominees didn’t even seem particularly new: Molly Tuttle’s first album came out in 2006; Tobe Nwigwe’s first EP six years ago; Muni Long is 34 and released her debut album, albeit under her real name, Priscilla Renea, in 2009. Without wishing to cast shade on those doughtily toiling away in the areas covered by the best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media and best new age ambient or chant album categories, the Grammys are ultimately about four awards: album of the year, record of the year, song of the year and best new artist.

Beyoncé's Album of the Year loss is part of a long history of the Recording Academy failing to recognize the achievements of Black female musicians.

[an average score of 83 on Metacritic](https://www.metacritic.com/music/harrys-house/harry-styles). Throughout the history of the awards, there have been other upsets with Black women nominated for Album of the Year. The single “Formation” generated controversy because of the song and video’s staunchly anti-police perspective. (Even Adele famously tried to reject her own win over Beyoncé’s Lemonade in 2017.) But the Recording Academy has long ignored Beyoncé when it comes to the Big Four Categories—Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Album of the Year. When Harry Styles was announced as the winner, there was what appeared to be a brief pause before the room erupted into applause. Among those emotions were anger, frustration, and resignation at the Recording Academy’s history of overlooking Black artists, and specifically Black women, in this major category. There was a noticeable hush in the room right after host Trevor Noah announced the nominees for the night’s biggest award. Over on Twitter, meanwhile, things immediately devolved into chaos as critics and fans expressed a range of reactions to the perceived snub for Beyoncé and Renaissance.

In [the new Songwriter of the Year award](https://www.vulture.com/2022/11/songwriter-of-the-year-grammy-why-it-matters.html), two of the five nominees had cuts on Styles’s album, including the eventual winner, Tobias Jesso Jr. (It’s a little surprising “As It Was” didn’t earn any hardware, but the wins for Harry’s House seem to be recognition of the album as a body of hits.) After the Academy was criticized for giving Jon Batiste’s We Are, an album without a single top-40 hit, AOTY last year, Styles’s project gave them the opportunity to be on the pulse, at no expense of its perspective. [Shania Twain](https://www.vulture.com/2022/04/harry-styles-late-night-talking-boyfriends-shania-twain-coachella.html)) and present ( [Lizzo](https://www.vulture.com/2022/04/harry-styles-lizzo-i-will-survive-coachella-surprise-guest.html)). As it faded out, Styles and his team teed up hits-in-waiting “Late Night Talking” and “Music for A Sushi Restaurant,” both of which hit the top ten. Styles had a hold on the charts as well, with “As It Was” logging a record five separate runs atop the Hot 100, from its No. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, or Lizzo stole votes from her, why didn’t the same happen to Styles with ABBA, Adele, or Coldplay?)

Styles won on his first AOTY nomination, for his third (solo) album [Harry’s House](https://www.vulture.com/2022/05/harry-styles-harrys-house-album-review.html), a pleasant but too-comfortable set of songs influenced by ‘80s synthpop and classic rock.

Racism, sexism, fuddy-duddyism: They're all reasons why the winningest artist in Grammy history lost album of the year yet again, this time to Harry Styles.

Because she gathers so many collaborators to help execute her plans, voters seem stubbornly unwilling to accept Beyoncé as the auteur in control of her music — a vexing if hardly novel problem running along both race and gender lines. But if she doesn’t need the Grammys, the Grammys need her: Overnight ratings for Sunday’s telecast were up 30% from 2022, a jump attributable at least in part to the suspense surrounding Beyoncé’s opportunity to break the all-time record. Nor do a growing number of intrepid Black artists — Drake, Frank Ocean and the Weeknd among them — who’ve decided the Grammys’ values don’t align with theirs. But “to ensure music creators are voting in the categories in which they are most knowledgeable and qualified,” as the academy rules put it, members can vote on only 10 of the dozens of more specific awards (such as R&B performance), and all 10 of those must be within no more than three genres. After all, Beyonce’s latest loss comes amid a larger historical context, which is that a mere three Black women — Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill — have won album of the year in the Grammys’ 65 years. Lose the trailblazers and you risk losing those who come behind them. All 11,000 or so of the academy’s voting members are allowed to vote in the Grammys’ four general categories of album, record and song of the year and best new artist. This explains the cognitive dissonance stemming from the fact that Beyoncé is both the most-awarded artist in Grammys history and a trendsetter who keeps getting robbed. That’s a clear distortion of Black women’s importance in pop music that undermines the Grammys’ role as a record-keeping enterprise. But with its intricate weave of samples and interpolations, it’s also structurally daring in a way that obviously triggered the academy’s suspicions about “real music” — suspicions foreshadowed in the Grammys’ pretelevised ceremony when Beyoncé’s longtime collaborator In fact, of the 32 Grammys that Beyoncé has collected over the last two decades, only one — one! [Beyoncé lost the award for album of the year](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2023-02-02/grammys-2023-beyonce-renaissance-album-of-the-year) to “Harry’s House” by Harry Styles.

Beyoncé became the Grammys GOAT but Harry Styles pulled off an album of the year win. That means it was more of the same on "music's biggest night."

And while “crowded and unfun” doesn’t have the same ring as “music’s biggest night,” it certainly rings more true. And while many have criticized the Grammys for failing to properly recognize rap music over the years, the show’s organizers tried to make amends by booking a sprawling performance celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop with rap icons LL Cool J and Questlove presiding over a posse cut for the ages — a medley that included Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Too Short, Big Boi, Method Man, Lil Baby, Scarface, Salt N Pepa and many more. So if we take “best” out of the equation, Beyoncé’s consolation prize was “most,” and when she won best electronic/dance album for her gorgeous, disco-infused “Renaissance,” she instantly became the biggest Grammy winner of all time with 32 golden gramophones to her name. As for Styles, his big performance was cluttered with dancers dressed like normies, perhaps to make his tinsel-shag jumpsuit look extra fabulous, but who ultimately made the whole thing feel crowded and unfun. Bad Bunny, whose “Un Verano Sin Ti” was nominated for album of the year, seemed entirely up to the task, opening the show with a blitz of high-spirited merengue rhythms that instantly lifted everyone out of their seats, (including Swift who, at this point, might just attend awards shows for the dancing). “There is no such thing as ‘best’ in music,” Styles said from the stage, cradling his new trophy, exuding a humility that felt as genuine as his statement felt factual.

For the third time, Beyoncé was nominated in each of the top three categories. For the first time, Beyoncé had two record of the year nominations in the same year: She was nominated for both her solo single “Black Parade” and “Savage,” her Hot 100-topping collab with Megan Thee Stallion. 1 album on the Billboard 200 (three weeks), was nominated for album of the year, but lost to Beck’s Morning Phase. For the first and so far only time, Beyoncé was nominated for album of the year as a featured artist on another artist’s album – Lady Gaga’s The Fame Monster.

The “Cuff It” singer became the most awarded artist in Grammy history at Sunday’s ceremony, with her four wins that evening bringing her to a grand total of 32 trophies. Look how the energy of the world moved,” Jay-Z said of “Renaissance” when asked if he felt it deserved to win album of the year. “They play her whole album in the club. It has inspired the world.” “Look what it’s done to the culture. It’s an accolade that many felt was due to be awarded to Beyoncé, who has now lost four times in that category to other artists.

Beyoncé made history at the 2023 Grammy Awards. Her award-winning song Cuff It was co-written by Tallahassee's Denisia “Blu June” Andrews.

"It's just a small gesture for somebody of her caliber," Andrews said. "It's just a feeling of gratitude and just knowing that our hard work paid off," Andrews said. That, too, meant the world to Andrews in that moment. But, she anticipated a conversation in the near future. “Leon/Gadsden County instilled in me the importance of family and camaraderie,” Andrews said. Others with co-writing credits on the song are Morten Ristorp, Raphael Saadiq and The-Dream. But I heard it, and so that was enough for me." The crowd erupt in applause and deafening screams. Her business partner and fellow song writer, Brittany "Chi" Coney, immediately called her from inside the star-studded 65th Annual Grammy Awards. They're announcing our part,'" said Andrews, who then darted past security and ran inside. On Tuesday, Andrews said she was with her family on the historic night and was able to celebrate with Coney, her best friend, and Coney's family. Her voice was filled with excitement.
