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.

MercyMe is an American contemporary Christian music band based in Greenville, Texas.[1] The band formed in 1994[2] and released six independent records from 1995-2000 before signing with INO Records and releasing their major-label debut, Almost There, in 2001.[3] They have since released six other studio albums as well as a holiday album.
