Poll: Bigger achievement: 13 #1's or 17 Grammies

superben

Simple question.

Well, to make it simple, let's just say that one has 13 chart-toppers and no Grammy while the other has 17 Grammies and no #1 whatsoever. You can't have both

Some of those hits are features and only a couple of these Grammies are from the general category.

Note:
- 17 Grammies will put you into top 20 people with most Grammies.
- 13 number ones will put you into top 5 people with most #1's.

13 #1s, especially when they already have 8 Grammy's of their own

17 Grammys. Critical acclaim is always better than commercial success imo

the_ill_nana

17 grammies especially when half of those #1's are features

The tangible one

Truth Teller

13 #1's.

The Grammy committee is no stranger to favoritism. No disrespect to Beyonce, but they obviously adore her. Getting recognition and success from the GP, targetting different audiences and constantly branching out and crossing over is a bigger achievement than getting recognition from the same never-changing group of old white people.

13 #1s. Grammys are meaningless in this day and age.

However, this does not mean that Beyoncé's career is invalidated (or less than Rihanna's) just because the Grammies are pointless.

#FREEKESHA

Didn't someone already post this?

Jay Fenty

13 #1 hit. especially since only 4 artists in history have 13 #1's or more...

RADAR

17 grammys cus they must be rly expensive

EdgeOfAddiction

13 #1s.
Grammys come and go but smash #1 songs remain on many people's mind for a very long time.

How about 17 Grammys, no #1s but 9 Top 5s?
Only #1 songs are hits? Discuss.

RudeBoy93

The PEOPLE made those #1 not some gang of old men who choose Grammys

Prometheus.

#1's.

The Grammy's are kinda pretentious.

The only noms I care about are the ones they don't announce.

Also, down the line people will remember the #1 more likely; saying "Yeah. That song was a hit! It was everywhere", instead of "I think I heard that song before" and needing to google it and finding out it won a Grammy.

I had no idea how to properly phrase that last sentence. Does it make sense?

PULSE.

17 Grammys. Every artist wants a Grammy. The highest honor an artist could have.

not sure who's shading who... too lazy to google
