In the music industry, one of the most coveted awards that any musician could recieve is the GRAMMY Award.

The Grammys is the equivalent of the Oscars, Emmys, and Tonys for people in the music industry.

Despite many of the world's biggest artists being a recipient of the highly-prized award, many famous musicians are surprisingly not recipients of even a single Grammy Award.

Famous Singers Who Have Never Won Any GRAMMY Awards

Katy Perry

Despite being one of the biggest pop stars in recent memory, Katy Perry does not have any Grammy Awards. She has been nominated 13 times already, including her biggest songs "I Kissed a Girl," "Hot N Cold," "Teenage Dream," "California Gurls," "Firework," "Wide Awake," "Roar," and even "Dark Horse." Her album "Teenage Dream" and "Prism," both classics, have failed to win any Album of the Year award or even Pop Vocal Album.

JLO

Jennifer Lopez is one of the biggest Latina artists of all time. Having won numerous awards in music, and film, and even recognized her influence in the entertainment industry as a music icon, a dance icon, and even a Latino icon - JLO has failed to win any GRAMMYs. She has two nominations, "Waiting For Tonight" and "Let's Get Loud," both nominated for Best Dance Recording in 2000 and 2001, respectively. However, she lost both, even her two nominations at the Latin Grammy Awards.

Sia

Sia is behind many of the biggest pop records in the past decade. Both as a songwriter and a recording artist, the "Cheap Thrills" hitmaker has been nominated nine times already, four of that was for her 2015 hit "Chandelier" which even went on to be a global hit. Until now, Sia doesn't have any Grammy Awards.

Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj is the biggest female rapper of the recent generation. Reviving the dying female rap game in the early 2010s and inspiring a generation of GRAMMY-winning female rappers, one would think that Nicki already had her own gramophone. Sadly, despite being nominated ten times, including Best New Artist in 2012 - Minaj still has none. Very recently, avid fans of Minaj were frustrated after she has been snubbed of any Grammy nominations at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.

Snoop Dogg

Who would've thought that a hip-hop icon like Snoop Dogg isn't still a GRAMMY recipient? Out of 17 GRAMMY nominations, Snoopy doesn't even own one. He is tied to Chris Gehringer for having the most nominations but without any wins yet.

Tupac

Despite his massive influence in the hip-hop community, The Recording Academy still hasn't recognized the work of Tupac Shakur. Even before his death, his five nominations remained unnoticed - especially his posthumous nomination for "Changes."
