- Beyoncé holds the record for the most Grammy wins in history.
- However, she has never won its most prestigious awards, including album of the year.
Beyoncé may hold the record for the most Grammy award wins ever, but the Recording Academy still consistently snubs the pop star in its major categories.
During Sunday's ceremony in Los Angeles, Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z, criticized the Recording Academy for snubbing his wife during his acceptance speech for the Dr Dre global impact award.
"She has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year, so even by your own metrics, that doesn't work," Jay-Z said of his wife.
It was reviving an old sore point — Beyoncé wasn't up for any awards this year, but her history with the academy runs deep.
Of the four most prestigious Grammys, Beyoncé has only won song of the year.
She has never been nominated for artist of the year, snubbed four times for album of the year, and an additional eight times for record of the year.
Here is a breakdown of Beyoncé's biggest Grammy snubs.
