You might be wondering if Beyonce has ever won Album of the Year after securing her position as the artist with the most Grammys this February.

The 65th Grammy Awards saw Beyonce make history as she moved past Georg Solti to become the musician with the most awards. This year’s awards ceremony took place on Sunday, February 5 at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena. Bey was on site for her history-making evening, as she took home four awards including Best R&B song (Cuff It), Best Dance/Electronic Recording (Break My Soul), Best Traditional R&B Performance (Plastic Off the Sofa), and Best Dance/Electronic Music Album for last year’s Renaissance.

But has Beyonce ever taken home the coveted Album of the Year? Let’s take a look at her previous nominations.

Has Beyonce ever won Album of the Year at the Grammys?

No. Despite having released seven critically-acclaimed studio albums over the past two decades, Beyonce has never taken home an Album of the Year prize at the Grammys.

Beyonce has been nominated for four of her seven studio albums in the Album of the Year category. They are as follows:

Beyonce’s first nomination for Album of the Year saw the singer go up against Taylor Swift, who won for her second album, Fearless. She was beat out by Beck with his album Morning Phase in 2015. Beyonce’s third AOTY nomination for Lemonade saw her beat by Adele with 25. Her most recent loss came at this year’s Grammys, as Harry Styles claimed the top prize with his album, Harry’s House.

Beyonce has won other Album of the Year awards

Despite never taking home the coveted AOTY prize at the Grammys, Beyonce has secured this title at other awards shows.

Beyonce has won seven Album of the Year prizes over the years. Her first-ever came in 2009 at the Soul Train Music Awards for I Am… Sasha Fierce. Beyonce would go on to win two more Soul Train AOTY, in 2014 for Beyonce then two years later for Lemonade.

The Formation singer won several Album of the Year awards for Lemonade. Besides Soul Train Music Awards, Beyonce’s Lemonade secured her prizes at AMFT Awards, BET Awards, and MTV VMAs Japan.

In 2018, Beyonce and husband Jay-Z won BET Hip Hop’s Album of the Year for their joint album, Everything Is Love. This was released under their musical duo name, The Carters.

Harry, I'm gonna let you finish but. Beyonce made the best album of the year.

‘Beyonce made the best album of the year’

After this year’s Grammys aired, Beyonce fans took to the internet to express their disappointment that she didn’t win Album of the Year for Renaissance.

“To conceive something like Renaissance, assemble the necessary creative talent to birth it, and craft something that felt uniquely her own… *THAT* is a true Album of the Year,” Sam Stryker tweeted.

Another fan asked: “How many times does Beyoncé have to make the Album of the Year to win Album of the Year?”

Touré of the Toure Show made reference to Kanye West’s infamous “Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time” quote from the 2009 VMAs.
