The 21 Artists Who Have Won the Most VMAs

Although Madonna hasn’t won a Moonman since 1999, she remains the artist with the most career wins (20) at the MTV Video Music Awards. But Beyoncé, who won her first Moonman in 2000, is closing in fast. In fact, she could conceivably pull even with Madonna at this year’s VMAs on Sunday. Beyoncé has won 15 awards, and is nominated for five more this year for her hit “7/11.” Will she do it? Eventually, in all likelihood, but probably not this year. (Note: MTV’s tally of artists with the most VMAs counts only awards as lead artists, not as featured artists.)
