Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand & More Artists With Grammy Nominations in 25 or More Years: Full List

Written by on January 17, 2025

Some artists amass a lot of nods in just a few years and are rarely nominated again. They aren’t on this list. These are the people who were in the game year after year.

Dolly Parton is what you might call a perennial Grammy nominee. This is the 37th year that she has received at least one Grammy nod. And if you’re thinking that must be close to the all-time record, you’re right.

It is the record among women and among country artists. Among all artists, it puts her in second place. One artist has been a nominee in even more years – 42. Can you guess who it is? You’ll have to scroll to the bottom of this list to find out.

Parton received her first Grammy nod in 1970 for best country performance by a duo or group for “Just Someone I Used to Know,” a collab with Porter Wagoner. She’s competing this year for best audio book, narration, and storytelling recording for Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones. The 67th annual Grammy Awards are set for Feb. 2 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, despite the wildfires that have devastated parts of the city over the past 10 days.

Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand and the late Chick Corea, who are also high on the list of artists with the most years with at least one Grammy nod, were also nominated this year. (Streisand is competing with Parton for best audio book, narration, and storytelling recording.)

Some artists amass a lot of nominations in just a few years and are rarely nominated again. Those flame-outs aren’t on this list. These are the people who were in the game year after year after year.

Here are the 25 artists who have received Grammy nominations in 25 or more years. The years shown are the years of the Grammy ceremonies. Note: This list counts only years in which the artists received Grammy nominations in competition—not honorary awards from the Recording Academy. But we do fill you in on who has (and hasn’t) received honorary awards – lifetime achievement awards (for performers), trustees awards (for non-performers) and the mothballed Grammy Legend Award.
