Note
  1. ↑ 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.

Malaysian boy band, KRU have received numerous awards and nominations for their contributions to music. [1] They were formed in 1992 by brothers Norman, Yusry and Edry Abdul Halim.
