List of awards and nominations received by Janet Jackson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Janet Jackson is an American singer, songwriter and actress who has received many accolades in a career that has spanned over fifty years. Jackson received her first nominations from a major award ceremony in 1987 when she received two Grammy Award nominations, including the Grammy for Album of the Year for her album, Control. Three years later, in 1990, Jackson became the first woman to be nominated for the Grammy Award for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical for the album, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814. That same year, she won her first Grammy for Best Music Video for the concept short film Rhythm Nation 1814. Jackson would go on to win five competitive Grammy Awards between 1990 and 2002 and remains the only artist to be nominated in the pop, R&B, rock, rap and dance categories. In 2026, Jackson was inducted into its Grammy Hall of Fame after her 1989 recording, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814, was picked for inclusion in that year's class.
