Rounding out the top five is Justin Bieber with a total of 720 awards.
Looking back at the history of Siti Nurhaliza's success, she began to venture into music in 1995 by participating in the HMI Star competition.
After succeeding in becoming the champion, Siti was immediately started her career as a recording singer. The song from her first album, 'Jerat Percintaan' won the Song Champion competition, making her one of the youngest winners to achieve that success.
Since then, Siti's name has been synonymous with success, continuing to bring home awards.
