List of awards and nominations received by Whitney Houston

(Redirected from American Music Award nominations for Whitney Houston)

Whitney Houston (1963–2012) was an American singer, actress, and producer. Commonly known as "The Voice", she is one of the most awarded performers in history.[1] Born in Newark, New Jersey, Houston began her recording career as a session singer in 1978 on recordings by her mother, gospel-soul singer Cissy Houston and producer Michael Zager and performed as a backing vocalist on her mother's band in the cabaret club circuit. Houston spent several years as a fashion model before signing her first recording contract with Arista Records in 1983. Two years later, Houston released her debut album, Whitney Houston, which resulted in Houston winning seven American Music Awards, a Billboard Year-End Award, an MTV Video Music Award, an NAACP Image Award, an Emmy Award and a Grammy Award. Her sophomore album, Whitney, resulted in four American Music Award wins, a Soul Train Music Award and a second Grammy. Her recording of the 1988 Olympic anthem, "One Moment in Time", resulted in Houston winning a second Emmy Award at the Sports Emmy Awards in September of that year.[2][3] Her 1990 album, I'm Your Baby Tonight, won four Billboard Music Awards.

After the success of her first leading role, in the film The Bodyguard, and its accompanying soundtrack, Houston won a bevy of awards including 8 American Music Awards,[4] 5 Japan Gold Disc Awards, 11 Billboard Music Awards,[5] 5 NAACP Image Awards, 5 World Music Awards[6] and 3 Grammy Awards including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for "I Will Always Love You". Her acting in the role led to several nominations, both unfavorably with three Golden Raspberry Award nominations and favorably with 3 MTV Movie Award nominations, an NAACP Image Award nomination and a People's Choice Award nomination. Houston would win additional music and acting awards for her roles in the films Waiting to Exhale and The Preacher's Wife, including two ASCAP Awards for composing the hit duet, "Count On Me" as well as the Grammy Award nod for Best Written Song for Visual Media, two American Music Awards, several NAACP Image Awards and, with The Preacher's Wife, two Dove Awards. Her work in the Disney musical, Cinderella, led to another Emmy nomination. She earned numerous award wins and nominations for her 1998 studio album, My Love Is Your Love, including the Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for the hit, "It's Not Right but It's Okay" in 2000 and the MTV Europe Music Award for Best R&B. Her last studio effort, 2009's I Look to You, won Houston a Soul Train Music Award nomination and an NAACP Image Award win.

Following her death in 2012, Houston received the Billboard Music Award for the Billboard Millennium Award and the MTV Europe Music Award for Global Icon. In 2013, her debut album, Whitney Houston, was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, Houston's first recording to do so. That same year, she was inducted into both the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and the New Jersey Hall of Fame. The following year, she was inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. In 2018, her smash hit, "I Will Always Love You", became her second recording to be inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Two years later, that same recording was added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States."[7][8] That same year, she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on her first nomination.[9][10] In May 2023, Houston became one of thirteen inaugural recipients of the Brits Billion Award for earning 1 billion career streams alone in the United Kingdom.[a] A prominent black female entertainer, she was also inducted into the BET Walk of Fame and the Soul Train Hall of Fame.[11]
