Beyoncé had won 32 Grammy Awards by the 2023 ceremony, setting the record for the most Grammy wins by any artist.
She reached 32 wins at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2023, when Renaissance won Best Dance/Electronic Music Album. The achievement surpassed the previous record held by Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti, who had won 31 Grammys.
Beyoncé’s awards span multiple categories, including R&B, pop, rap, music video, and dance/electronic music. Her wins reflect both solo releases and collaborations, and she has also received many Grammy nominations across her career.
The number 32 refers to wins, not nominations. It also describes her total at that specific ceremony; future awards can change an artist’s total. Beyoncé became the first woman and the first Black artist to hold the overall wins record, though the earlier record-holder, Solti, was a conductor rather than a pop singer.
