Pierre Boulez- Most Grammys won by a composer or songwriter[edit]

Pierre Boulez was above all a composer. He won 26 Grammys. I don’t understand why he isn’t on that list.188.146.231.193 (talk) 07:25, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Most honored albums wins[edit]

Why for this albums How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, Come Away With Me, Thriller, Back on the Block, Back to Black, Taking the Long Way, Toto IV total wins counts Producer of the Year, Non Classical awards, and for other albums not count? Diopic (talk) 14:58, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Daft Punk[edit]

Daft Punk have won a combined of 7 grammys, why are they not on this list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:D3:2F24:201:4C6D:944:23F8:C2F2 (talk) 18:22, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Producers, Engineers, Mixers in Album Specific categories[edit]

Just to verify, any producer, engineer or mixer who works on 51% of an album will receive a Grammy in that category (i.e. Pop Vocal Album, Rock Album etc) if the artist they worked with wins in that specific category. This source explains it;

https://www.grammy.com/sites/com/files/pages/engineer_definitions_for_awards.pdf

Just wanted to verify this whenever its time to update this page in regard to producers and engineers/mixers. Please note this does NOT apply to Mastering Engineers. --MusicAndArtFan (talk) 14:07, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A person has to be nominated and/or be listed as a winner no matter what percentage of an album they worked on.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 23:35, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That information has not been updated yet on the Grammy website. As a recording academy member who votes on the Grammy Awards, this is something we all know first hand. The Grammy website is slow to update, but the links I have posted here are specific and I think I put this in the main article too. As we are in the middle of a pandemic, I doubt the website's winners search will be updated quickly. Finneas engineer, mixed and produced 100% of that album, which means he receives the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album. These pdf files above are from the Producers and Engineers Wing of the Recording Academy. That is a perfectly reliable source of information. --MusicAndArtFan (talk) 02:42, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at this page for Serban Ghenea; https://www.grammy.com/grammys/artists/serban-ghenea

You will see that in 2004 he won Best Pop Vocal Album for mixing Justin Timberlake's album, "Justified" having mixed at least 51% of it. Now that is already in there because it happened years ago and the info was updated a while back ago. Also, on the Grammy Award records page, he is recognized for winning 16 Grammys, several of which were in genre-specific album categories such as Pop Vocal Album and Alternative Music Album. This is no different for Finneas who just won Pop Vocal Album. His name may not be on the website yet, but the pdf files I posted above prove everything I'm saying, which is something we academy members all know. You can find this for any other producer, engineer or mixer who has won in a septic album category. The Grammy winners search is sloppy because the Grammy website is written like a tabloid. But these documents I posted above from the P&E Wing are not written like a tabloid. --MusicAndArtFan (talk) 02:52, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reliable source which shows six wins for O'Connell. From the Grammys themselves (not database.. articles) to Billboard, WSJ, Wash Post, LA Times.. you name it.. all show five nominations prior to the ceremony, five wins after. The sixth win is pure WP:SYNTHESIS, coming up with your own interpretation without any actual sourcing. It does not matter what any Grammy policy states, it matters whether they were nominated and/or awarded. If you are able to reliably source an actual sixth nomination and win then by all means produce it (pun intended).--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:55, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Norah jones[edit]

Hi! my name is Ryan and I was looking at an article on grammy award records. I noticed that you guys made an error on a few occasions. Norah Jones won every single general category. She won the record and song of the year for Don't know why. She won album of the year for Come Away With me. She also won best new artist. 2600:1700:D660:B700:4827:AF8F:341E:871 (talk) 01:06, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Song of the Year is a songwriter award, she is not credited as a songwriter on “Don’t Know Why”, which is a 2002 cover of Jesse Harris’ 1999 song.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 03:07, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

George Solti[edit]

In the "Awards" section, it states that XXXTentacion has the most Grammy wins, but the citation given (and the subsequent "Most Grammys won by a male artist" section) seems to suggest George Solti should be in the place of XXXTentacion. Could someone with enough Wikipedia experience verify this please? (am not versed in Wikipedia editing!) 92.31.58.57 (talk) 12:14, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just a vandalic edition, already reverted.--Gorpik (talk) 12:23, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah ok, thank you for helping! 92.31.58.57 (talk) 15:17, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anderson Paak?? 8 Grammy’s?[edit]

youngest nominees[edit]

Bobby Bare Jr. born June 28, 1966 was nominated for BEST COUNTRY VOCAL PERFORMANCE BY A DUO OR GROUP at the 17th grammys in 1975. 2600:8807:6006:8800:104:2CE1:F947:3935 (talk) 13:15, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Joni Mitchell[edit]

Should Joni Mitchell be added to most Grammys by a female artist? And, if so, should it be for 10 or 11? She's received the Lifetime Achievement Award and an award for "River: The Joni Letters." Would those both factor into this list? 2603:6011:7501:19FF:2943:A341:8657:6657 (talk) 03:52, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a listing of competitive awards. Honorary and lifetime–type awards are excluded from the list.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 23:12, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Missing entry?[edit]

The "Most Grammys won by a female artist" table looks like it's missing an entry for position 7 or 8. I've inserted a string of question marks to draw attention to the problem. Unfortunately, none of these tables are referenced, so there's no way to verify this content or repair it. Should these tables be removed until a time when they can be made verifiable? -- Mikeblas (talk) 15:07, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
