Beyoncé won six Grammy Awards at the 2010 ceremony. Her six victories at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards set a record at the time for the most Grammy wins by a female artist in one night.
The awards recognized work connected with her albums I Am... Sasha Fierce and its singles. Among the honors were Song of the Year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Halo,” and Best Contemporary R&B Album for I Am... Sasha Fierce.
The record was notable because it demonstrated success across several Grammy fields rather than in only one genre category. The ceremony took place on January 31, 2010. Later artists and later Beyoncé ceremonies changed the broader record landscape, so the wording “at that time” matters when describing this achievement.
