List of awards and nominations received by Prince

Prince (1958–2016) was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, actor and filmmaker. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest musicians of all-time.[1] A multi-instrumentalist who was considered a guitar virtuoso, he was well known for his eclectic work across multiple genres, flamboyant and androgynous persona, and wide vocal range which included a far-reaching falsetto and high-pitched screams.

Note
  1. ↑ Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.
