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.

Nine Inch Nails is an American industrial rock act, founded in 1988 by Trent Reznor in Cleveland, Ohio. As its main producer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist, Reznor was the only official member of Nine Inch Nails until the addition of Atticus Ross in 2016.[1] Nine Inch Nails has received four awards from 25 nominations, including two Grammy Awards for the songs "Wish" and "Happiness in Slavery" in 1993 and 1996 respectively.[2] Nine Inch Nails have received two Kerrang! Awards honoring the band's overall contributions since 1988.[3][4] The band has also received nine nominations from the MTV Video Music Awards for several of its videos, including two nominations for the "Closer" video and five nominations for the "Perfect Drug" video, including Video of the Year.[2]

Nine Inch Nails and several of its releases have also received awards and honors from the critical community. The band was ranked as the 94th "Greatest Artist of All Time" by Rolling Stone in 2004.[5] Nine Inch Nails' second studio album, The Downward Spiral, has been included on several "Best Of" lists, including Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" and Spin's "100 Greatest Albums, 1985–2005".[6][7]
