The late conductor and pianist Georg Solti was - with 31 GRAMMYs - the record holder for a long time, but was dethroned on Sunday. In addition to the 31 awards, he won another six in collaboration with other musicians and, even after his death, was nominated a total of 74 times.

With the gramophone statuette for Best Dance/Electronic Album, Beyoncé broke Georg Solti's 26-year-old record. The American won the awards on Sunday for Best Dance/Electronic Recording, Best Traditional R&B Performance, Best R&B Song and Best Dance/Electronic Album. During an emotional acceptance speech, she thanked God, her parents and her uncle Johnny, to whom she dedicated her album Renaissance: 'I want to thank my beautiful husband, my three beautiful children who are watching at home. I want to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing the genre. God bless you.' The American counter now stands at 32 in total.
