Most Album of the Year Grammy Wins by Artist
Key Findings
About This Dataset
Most Album of the Year Grammy Wins by ArtistAlbum of the Year is the hardest prize in music to win repeatedly - the Recording Academy has historically spread it around - which makes Taylor Swift's four wins (Fearless, 1989, Folklore and Midnights) genuinely unprecedented. She broke a three-way tie that had stood since the 1980s between Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder and Paul Simon, three artists from completely different generations of American music. The rarity is the story: legends including the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Prince and Beyoncé won it once or not at all despite dominating their eras. Swift also won all four before turning 35, and with each new release becoming an automatic contender, she is realistically the only artist positioned to extend the record further.
