Note
  1. Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They recognize several different recipients, have runners-up, and have third place. Since this is a specific recognition and is different from losing an award, runner-up mentions are considered wins in this award tally. For simplification and to avoid errors, each award in this list has been presumed to have had a prior nomination.

Bryan Adams is a Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist. He has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, and has won two. He has also received awards and nominations at the American Music Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, and Golden Globe Awards. His work on the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves soundtrack won him two awards at the 34th Grammy Awards, including "Best Pop Instrumental Performance" and "Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media".
