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.

Monica is an American singer and actress; she got discovered by music producer Dallas Austin in 1991. The singer achieved worldwide success in 1998 with her sophomore album The Boy Is Mine , which featured the singles "The Boy Is Mine", "The First Night", and "Angel of Mine".

The single "The Boy Is Mine", a duet with Brandy, was an international hit where it reached number one in several countries, including Canada, The Netherlands, New Zealand, and on the Billboard Hot 100. Both singers won a Billboard Music Video Award for Best R&B/Urban Clip for the video. The video also nabbed two MTV Video Music Awards nominations.

On the Billboard Year-End List, the song ranked number 1 on the Hot Dance Maxi-Singles Sales, Hot 100 Singles Sales, and Hot R&B Singles Sales charts. In 1999, she and Brandy won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance By a Duo or Group. In 2020 Monica was honored with the Lady of Soul Award at the Soul Train Music Awards.
