Grammy Stats?

[Zoocoustic]

Was wondering if anyone has any grammy stats for U2. Specifically:

-# of nominations
-# of wins
-detail of awards for each nomination/win
-how they rank as far as band/performers with most career wins

Thanks ahead of time!

Also, Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois won one Grammy in 1992. Best Production, or something.

I remember Pop was nominated for something - I think best rock album - and lost.

 

[sensnucksfan]

They had 7 nominations for ATYCLB, and won 4 Grammys. In one category they were against themselves.

I think 8 nominations!!!

One of this was Album Of The Year by ATYCLB and, yes, they ompete against themselves in one category

[Danny Boy]

Achtung Baby was nominated for album of the year.

Lost to Eric Clapton Unplugged.

 

[STING2]

They had 7 nominations for ATYCLB, and won 4 Grammys. In one category they were against themselves.

Incorrect, ATYCLB had a total of 10 nominations over two years and won 7 Grammy Awards. They won 3 Grammy awards the first year, and 4 Grammy awards the following year.




U2 HAS NOW WON 17 GRAMMY AWARDS!


I don't know any performing artist in history that has won more Grammy's than U2. There are a lot of writers and producers for various artist that won more, but right now, I can't name any performing artist that has won more.

 

[sensnucksfan]

I thought I heard that Ray Charles had around 14 Grammys, and he won another 8 last night.

I think sensnucksfan refers to 2002 Grammy Awards, when ATYCLB was nominated to 8 Grammies and won 4.

In total, ATYCLB won 7 Grammies, yes

And 2006 maybe will be historic for U2, so:

ABOY + video
Sometimes + video
3rd worldwide single + video
4th worldwide sinlge + video

Album itself

Maybe 10+ nominations

According to @U2, they are now tied with Ray Charles and Alison Krauss at 17. They are now 8th on the all-time list of Grammy winners. Amazing!
