So amongst the countless awards our faves have got, there are clear, more prestigious and more relevant awards. In my opinion and in this thread these "relevant" awards are:
- Grammy Award
- MTV Video Music Award
- Billboard Award
- MTV Europe Music Award
- World Music Award
- BET Award
Here is a list of the female artists with the most combined total of these awards, starting with a minimum of 10.
Also note, although I will include BET Awards in the artists stats, I will not add them to the total out of fairness since BET Awards celebrate and award black artists significantly more than white, obviously. I also didn't really think American Music Awards were
that relevant or important although if mass people agree I can add them..
