CeCe Winans Moves Up to 4th Place on List of GRAMMYs Most-Awarded Women Ever

As one of the groundbreaking artists credited with raising the profile of Gospel music to mainstream audiences, CeCe Winans is no stranger to seeing her name aligned with the phrase ‘record breaking.’

The best-selling female Gospel singer of all time, Winans – already the genre’s most decorated GRAMMY-winning singer – entered the show’s 64th annual ceremony Sunday (April 3) up for three more trophies thanks to her 2021 Billboard chart-topping album, ‘Believe For It.’

Sweeping every category she was nominated in, the flawless victory comes as yet another history-making achievement for CeCe. See how inside:

Before the GRAMMYs’ live telecast Sunday, the ceremony’s pre-show saw Winans named victor in the Best Gospel Performance/Song, Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song, and Best Gospel Album categories.

For the latter listing, she becomes the first female artist to win the award twice over her career.

The three additional golden gramophones bring her career total to 15, making her the first Gospel singer to have earned as many GRAMMYs. With all the genre’s performers considered, only songwriter-producer Kirk Franklin has more (16).

Among the show’s most-awarded women (all genres considered), she now enters a 3-way tie with Adele and Alicia Keys for fourth place. Only Beyonce (28), Alison Krauss (27), and Aretha Franklin (18) have more GRAMMYs.
