Beyoncé became the first woman to win six Grammy Awards in one ceremony in 2010.
At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, held on January 31, 2010, Beyoncé won six awards from ten nominations. The ceremony recognized work connected with her 2008 double album I Am... Sasha Fierce and its singles.
Her wins included Song of the Year for “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Halo,” and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for “At Last.” She also won Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song.
The six-award total set a record for the most Grammy wins by a woman in a single ceremony at that time. The distinction is sometimes confused with Beyoncé’s later overall Grammy record; the 2010 achievement concerned wins at one ceremony, not her lifetime total.
