The Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media (including its previous names) is the Grammy Award awarded to songs written for films, television, video games or other visual media. Through the years it's been awarded, since 1988, it has gone through several name changes:



  • 1988–1999: The Grammy Award for Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or for Television

  • 2000–2011: The Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media

  • 2012–present: The Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media


The award goes to the composer(s) of the winning song, not to the performing artist(s) (except if the artist is also the composer).


Alan Menken has the most wins (5 times). After him, only James Horner, Howard Ashman and T Bone Burnett have multiple wins (2 each).
Diane Warren has the most nomination with 10, followed by Alan Menken with 9, Babyface with 7, James Horner and T Bone Burnett with 4 each, Madonna, Howard Ashman, Tim Rice and Michael Kamen with 3 each (all of them won at least one Grammy).
Sting is the most nominated artist without wins (nominated 3 times). Stephen Sondheim, Elton John, Elvis Costello and U2 were nominated 2 times without winning.
Babyface was the artist with more nominations in a single year with 3 nominations in 1997 but failed to win the award that year.

Map showing Daylam in western Tabaristan. The Daylamites or Dailamites (Middle Persian: Daylamīgān ; Persian: دیلمیان ‎ Deylamiyān ) were an Iranian people inhabiting the Daylam—the mountainous regions of northern Iran on the southern shore of the Caspian Sea. [1] They were employed as soldiers from the time of the Sasanian Empire, and long resisted the Muslim conquest of Persia and subsequent Islamization. In the 930s, the Daylamite Buyid dynasty emerged and managed to gain control over much of modern-day Iran, which it held until the coming of the Seljuq Turks in the mid-11th century.
