Whos Never Won?
Jessica Simpson: Somewhat lost in the shuffle of '90s pop divas, Jessica Simpson has yet to receive a statue, while Beyonce, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears have all had multiple wins.

50 Cent: The G-Unit head and Eminem protege has sold over 16 million albums and launched countless other successful franchises, but has yet to be honored by the Grammy community. Eminem, on the other hand, has won nine times.

Led Zeppelin: 'Stairway to Heaven' may be one of the most referenced songs in pop-culture history, but the band that inspired everything from hair metal to 'Spinal Tap' to Wayne and Garth never won a Grammy.
Diana Ross: Despite 18 No. 1 singles and a career spanning four decades, the Motown icon doesn't have a Grammy statue for either her solo music or her work with the Supremes.

Backstreet Boys: It's true -- not a stitch of Grammy love has been given to one of the most successful boy bands in history. For the record, their rivals *NSYNC were also consistently snubbed despite their stellar record sales.

Ciara: The Queen of Crunk 'n' B may have sold over five million albums in her young career, but Ciara's lone Grammy win was for someone else's song -- Best Short Form Music Video for her featured appearance in Missy Elliot's 'Lose Control' video.

Queen: The decadence of Queen's look and sound has had widespread influence on many Grammy winners -- George Michael, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Flaming Lips all cite the band as an influence -- but Queen never won their own Grammy.

Jewel: Hootie & the Blowfish took home the Grammy for Best New Artist the year Jewel's first album, 'Pieces of You,' was released, and her bad Grammy luck has continued to this day.

Bob Marley: Although a proper Grammy win has always eluded the late Reggae legend, he was recently announced as a 2007 Grammy Hall of Fame inductee.
Janis Joplin: Although 'Me and Bobby McGee' writer Kris Kristofferson is a multi-Grammy winner, the song did not bring its singer Janis Joplin any Grammy honors, nor did any of her original material.
