How Many Grammys Does Billie Eilish Have? Ten, and One Record
In February 2026, Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell won Song of the Year for “WILDFLOWER”. It was their third win in that category, more than any songwriters in the award's history, and it moved them past Adele, Bruno Mars and the members of U2. It was also her tenth Grammy.

Billie Eilish has ten Grammy Awards and two Academy Awards. The tenth Grammy, won in February 2026, is the one that put her in a category by herself.
She and her brother Finneas O'Connell won Song of the Year for "WILDFLOWER" at the 68th Grammy Awards. It was their third win in that category, and no songwriters had ever managed three.
The Record She Broke
Song of the Year goes to the people who wrote a song, not to the people who performed or sold it. Before February 2026, the most anyone had won it was twice, and roughly a dozen songwriters sat on that number, including Adele, Bruno Mars and several members of U2.
Eilish and O'Connell now sit above all of them. Forbes described the third win as a feat no other songwriters had managed before.
Her three wins came for "bad guy" in 2020, "What Was I Made For?" in 2024 and "WILDFLOWER" in 2026.

How Many Grammys Billie Eilish Has
Ten. Finneas has nine, one fewer, because the Best New Artist award she won in 2020 was hers alone.
The Night She Swept All Four
The 62nd Grammy Awards in January 2020 is still the night people reach for first. Eilish won Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Album of the Year, all in the same evening, and became the youngest person ever to do it.
Finneas did not leave empty handed either. He won Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, becoming the youngest act to take that category.
The Timeline
| Date | Award |
|---|---|
| January 2020 | Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Album of the Year. Youngest ever to sweep all four |
| January 2020 | Finneas wins Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. Youngest to do so |
| March 2022 | Academy Award, Best Original Song, "No Time to Die" |
| March 2024 | Academy Award, Best Original Song, "What Was I Made For?" |
| February 2024 | Grammy, Song of the Year, "What Was I Made For?" |
| February 2026 | Grammy, Song of the Year, "WILDFLOWER". Third win, a record. Her tenth Grammy |
The Two Oscars
Both Academy Awards were for Best Original Song, and both were shared with Finneas. The first came in 2022 for "No Time to Die", written for the James Bond film of the same name. The second came in 2024 for "What Was I Made For?", written for Barbie.
Those two wins carry a record of their own. Eilish is the youngest person to win two Academy Awards in any category.

What the Record Actually Measures
There is a detail in the 2026 win that explains the category better than any list of names.
"WILDFLOWER" peaked at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. It reached 7 in the United Kingdom and 11 on the Global 200. It was the fourth single from Hit Me Hard and Soft, serviced to American radio in March 2025, almost a year after the album arrived.
By chart performance it was not the biggest song in its category. It still won, because Song of the Year has never been a sales award. It goes to the writing, and the voters heard the writing.
JenzNews Take: Song of the Year is the only one of the big four Grammys that belongs to whoever wrote the thing rather than whoever sold it. WILDFLOWER stopped at 17 on the Hot 100, which in a chart-first reading of the night makes the win look like an upset. It is not one. The category has always rewarded the writing, and the two people who have now won it three times have been writing in the same room since one of them was 13 years old.
Where It Stands Now
Ten Grammys at 24, two Academy Awards, and a songwriting record that nobody in the award's history has matched.
The second name on all of it belongs to her brother, who has been producing her records since before either of them had a career to speak of.
