In the 18 years since Alicia Keys dropped her debut solo album, Songs in A Minor, she’s been recognized by the Recording Academy–the governing body of music officials who vote on which artists are deserving of a Grammy Award–with an astonishing 29 nominations in her illustrious career.
Keys’ trophy count is just as impressive. She’s earned a staggering 15 Grammy wins for works such as “Fallin’,” “No One,” “Empire State of Mind,” and “If I Ain’t Got You.” That’s more nods than artists like Lady Gaga (6), Taylor Swift (10), Madonna (7), and Mariah Carey (5) have. However, Keys hasn’t quite trumped Beyoncé, who has 22.
Below, we round up Alicia Keys’ multiple Grammy Awards wins and nominations. Watch the music star host the 61st Grammy Awards at L.A.’s Staples Center on Sunday, February 10 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
