When it comes to determining the level of a singer's success, there are few factors that are taken into consideration — how many views/plays they get, how many concert tickets they sell, and how many Grammys they have. While some singers like Katy Perry are yet to win a Grammy award, others — like Taylor Swift — are often considered to be favorites of the Recording Academy.
From '90s icons like Mariah Carey to icons of the newer generations such as Billie Eilish — keep on scrolling to see how pop divas ranked on our list when it comes to the number of Grammy awards.
10 Pink - 3 Grammys
First up on our list today is Pink. Even though she's had a pretty good career and many hit songs so far, Pink — whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore — hasn't had too much luck with the Grammys. She has been nominated twenty times so far, but has only won this prestigious music award three times.
Pink's very first Grammy was for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, for the iconic song "Lady Marmalade", performed together with Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, and Mya.
9 Kelly Clarkson - 3 Grammys
Next on the list is the singer and now talk show host Kelly Clarkson. Kelly rose to fame back in 2002 after winning the first season of American Idol. The "Because Of You" singer has received fifteen nominations so far, and she has won it three times. Kelly is also a person with the most nominations for Best Pop Vocal Album.
8 Christina Aguilera - 5 Grammys
Another pop icon who ended up on our list today is Christina Aguilera, who rose to fame in 1999 after releasing her self-titled debut album which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. Aguilera, who is often called one of the best singers of all time, has received twenty Grammy nominations throughout her career so far, and she has won five.
7 Mariah Carey - 5 Grammys
Let's move onto our next pop diva, Mariah Carey, who is one of the best-selling musicians ever — she has sold over 200 million records so far. Not only that, but Mariah also holds the record for most number-one singles by a solo artist.
Throughout her career, the "Without You" singer has received 34 Grammy nominations and won five. The first two Grammys she got back in 1991, for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female and Best New Artist.
6 Billie Eilish - 7 Grammys
Even though she's pretty new in the music industry, Billie Eilish — whose debut EP was released in 2017 — is already being called the new main pop girl. Her album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? is one of the best-selling albums in the last few years. In only two years, she has won seven Grammy awards out of nine nominations.
5 Rihanna - 9 Grammys
With over 250 million records sold worldwide, Rihanna is considered to be one of the best-selling singers of all time. She got her big break back in 2005 when she released her debut album Music of the Sun. In the following years she served us with bops such as "Unfaithful", "Rude Boy", and "We Found Love". She won her first Grammy in 2008 for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for her chart-topping song "Umbrella". Out of 33 received nominations so far, Rihanna was won 9 Grammys.
4 Taylor Swift - 11 Grammys
Next on the list, we have America's Sweetheart, Taylor Swift, who is often called one of the greatest artists and greatest songwriters of all time. Throughout her career, the "Look What You Made Me Do" singer has sold over 200 million records, which makes her one of the best-selling musicians ever. Out of 41 received Grammy nominations, she has won 11 — including three wins for the Album of the Year category.
3 Lady Gaga - 12 Grammys
Even though many thought she would become just another one-hit-wonder when "Just Dance" came out in 2008, Lady Gaga proved them all wrong. Since her career started, the "Rain On Me" singer has received 29 Grammy award nominations and won 12 of them. In addition to that, Gaga has also won an Oscar, BAFTA Grammy, and Golden Globe in the same year, and became the first woman ever, and only the second person in history to achieve that.
2 Adele - 15 Grammys
Every single album Adele has released so far has been successful commercially and critically, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the "Someone Like You" singer ended up as a runner-up on our list. Adele's Grammy-winning streak started back in 2012 when she took home six Grammys in one night, making her the second female artist to do that, after Beyoncé. Out of 18 nominations she has received so far, Adele has won 15.
1 Beyoncé - 28 Grammys
Wrapping the list up at spot number one is, of course, Queen B. Beyoncé —who happens to be one of the pop divas with the highest net worth — has received 79 Grammy nominations so far and won 28 of them, with the first three being during her time with Destiny's Child. If that's not enough, here's more — Beyoncé holds the record for the most nominated and most awarded woman in Grammy history.
