How many Grammy Awards has U2 won, more than any other group?

The story behind the answer

U2 has won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other group.

The band’s Grammy total spans several decades and many musical categories. U2 received its first Grammy wins at the 29th Annual Grammy Awards in 1987, when “The Joshua Tree” era began attracting major international recognition. The group later won awards for albums, rock performances, songs and music videos.

U2’s wins include Album of the Year for The Joshua Tree and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, as well as Record of the Year for “Beautiful Day” and “Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own.” The band has also won Grammys across multiple decades, an unusual achievement for a rock act formed in the 1970s.

Award totals can change when sources count nominations, individual members’ awards or different Grammy categories. The figure here refers to U2 as a group and its recognized Grammy wins, not awards received separately by Bono or another member.
