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.

As of December 2008, Wolfmother, an Australian hard rock band, has won nine music awards from 25 nominations.

Wolfmother was formed in 2000 by vocalist and guitarist Andrew Stockdale, bassist and keyboardist Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett.[1] The band signed with Modular Recordings and after releasing the EP Wolfmother in 2004,[2] they released their full-length debut, also self-titled, in Australia in 2005.[2] The album was subsequently released in Europe (through Island Records) and the United States (through Interscope Records) in 2006.[1][2] Six singles were released from Wolfmother, and the album went on to sell over 1.3 million copies worldwide.[3] In August 2008, Ross left Wolfmother due to "irreconcilable personal and musical differences",[4] and was immediately followed by Heskett.[5] Stockdale is currently planning on finding new musicians to continue the Wolfmother moniker,[5] with a second album planned for release in early 2009.[3]

Upon its release, Wolfmother's debut album won the 2005 J Award for Best Australian Album.[6] Also in 2005, the song "Woman" was nominated for Single of the Year and Best Breakthrough Artist – Single at the ARIA Awards, eventually losing out to Ben Lee's "Catch My Disease" and End of Fashion's "O Yeah", respectively.[7] In 2006 Wolfmother's Australian success continued – they received nominations for Spankin' New Aussie Artist, Best New Group and Best Rock Video (for "Mind's Eye") at the MTV Australia Awards;[8] and were nominated for the Jack Award for Best Live Band. At the 2006 ARIA Awards, the band won Best Breakthrough Album, Best Rock Album (both for Wolfmother) and Best Group, and received nominations for Album of the Year (for Wolfmother) and Single of the Year (for "Mind's Eye") – a total of three wins from five nominations.[9][10]

In 2007, Wolfmother received their first award nominations from outside of their home country. At the 2007 BRIT Awards, they were nominated for the award for International Breakthrough Act,[11] ultimately losing out to American band Orson. In the United States, the band won the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 2007 ceremony for their song "Woman".[12] Wolfmother were re-nominated for Best Live Band at the 2007 Jack Awards, and this time the trio won it.[13] Several nominations were again received at the MTV Australias, this time for Best Group, Viewer's Choice Award, Best Rock Video and Video of the Year (both for "Joker & the Thief").[14] In 2008 Wolfmother received one award from one nomination – the APRA Award for Most Played Australian Work Overseas, for their song "Woman".[15]
