U2 holds the record for the most Grammy wins by a duo or group, with 22 awards.
The Irish rock band’s Grammy success spans several decades and categories. U2 won major honors for albums, singles, rock performances, and music videos, reflecting the group’s unusually long period of influence after its breakthrough in the 1980s.
The band’s first Grammy victories came in 1988, when The Joshua Tree won Album of the Year and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Later wins included awards connected with Achtung Baby, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, and “Beautiful Day.”
This record is different from the overall Grammy-wins record, which includes solo artists, groups, producers, and other credited recipients. Counts can vary when sources use different definitions of group or include special awards.
