Note Certain award groups do not simply award one winner. They acknowledge 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.

Bonnie Tyler is a Welsh singer who has released seventeenth studio albums. Her career has led to three Goldene Europa awards, an Echo Award, a Variety Club of Great Britain Award, a Gold Badge Award for her contribution to Britain's Music Industry, and a Steiger Award for a lifetime career in music.
