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.

English electronic music band Depeche Mode has received five Grammy Award nominations. The band's first Grammy nomination occurred when Devotional was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video in 1995. Depeche Mode has also received Grammy nominations for Best Dance Recording for "I Feel Loved", "Suffer Well" and "Wrong". On 2 November 2006, Depeche Mode received the MTV Europe Music Award in the Best Group category, the band won the first Q magazine "Innovation Award" on 22 October 2002. "Enjoy the Silence" won 'Best British single' at the 1991 Brit Awards.^[1] In 2020, January, Depeche Mode was announced among the four inductees of the 35th Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.
