A Grammy nomination is one of music’s highest honors, with most artists receiving only a handful across their entire careers.

Landing nominations in multiple categories is especially rare, requiring artists to show mastery across different musical styles, genres, or roles—whether as performers, songwriters, or producers.

This visualization shows the most Grammy-nominated artists of all-time, as of February 2025.

The data comes from the Grammy Awards and Wikipedia.
