10 Fun Facts You Didn’t Know About The Grammys

10 Fun Facts You Didn’t Know About The Grammys

With “Music’s Biggest Night“ approaching us in a couple hours we wanted to share a ten lesser known facts about the prestigious award ceremony with you. 

 

1.) Did you know that Katy Perry, Diana Ross, Jimi Hendrix, Snoop Dog and Nas all have one thing in common? Neither of them has ever won a Grammy, which is a shame!

 

2.) Country singer LeAnn Rimes currently holds the record being the youngest individual winning a Grammy Award. She was a sweet 14 year old. Too bad, that these days we hear less about her music and more about her feuds with her husbands ex-wife Brandi Glanville. 

 

3.) The one and only Michael Jackson holds the record for taking home the most Grammys in one night. In 1984, he won eight whooping awards. He is THE man. Santana actually tied Jackson’s record in 2000. 

 

4.) Kanye West has won 21 Grammys, more than the Beatles, Barbra Streisand and James Taylor combined. Maybe that explains his ego?

 

5.) However, the musican with the most Grammys? Let’s be honest, chances are, you have actually never heard of him! We are talking about Sir Georg Solti - the Hungarian-British classical music conductor has won an impressive number 32 Grammy awards, and therefore holds the record for winning the most Grammys in history. Sorry, Yeezus!

 

6.) Did you know the average ad price during the Grammys are around $1 million? That gets you about 30 seconds. As a comparison, a Super Bowl ad of the same length is selling for as much as $5 million.

 

7.) Quincy Jones holds the record for the most Grammy nominations ever received. We are talking about 79, that is right 7-9. 

 

8.) Brian McKnight and Snoop Dogg hold the probably least desirable record: With more than 16 nominations neither one ever won. 

 

9.) Bob Dylan has been nominated in the most categories - 13 to be exact. 

 

10.) Last but not least, did you know that more than 20,0000 active members of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences vote on the nominees?
