S.H.E, a Taiwanesegirl group, has won numerous awards since entering the Mandopop industry. Formed in 2001, the group's members are Selina Ren, Hebe Tien, and Ella Chen. Ren, Tien, and Chen all participated in the 2001 Universal Talent and Beauty Girl Contest, the winner of which would join Power Station on HIM International Music's roster.[1] Although Ren had won the contest, Tien and Chen joined Ren in forming S.H.E. Since their debut in 2001, the trio has recorded eleven albums in six years, and sales have exceeded 4.5 million since the release of their first album Girls' Dorm. S.H.E's third album, Genesis, was recognized with more awards than any other work. In 2003, the album's success culminated in Best Group honours at both the Golden Melody Awards and the Singapore Hit Awards.
The group's most successful songs to date are "Don't Wanna Grow Up" (Once Upon a Time) and "Chinese Language" (Play). Although the latter song drew considerable cross-straits controversy,[2] it won six awards—one of which was SinaHong Kong's Mandarin Song of the Year—and earned three additional nominations. Between 2006 and 2007, "Don't Wanna Grow Up" also earned six awards. On a year-by-year basis, S.H.E was most successful in 2007, when the group won 32 awards from 44 nominations. Honours received that year include seventeen awards for either Best or Most Popular Group, twelve for song-related categories, one for Best Album, one for Best Soundtrack, and one for Best Music Video. With over 130 awards to S.H.E's credit, the success of the group led to the formation of more Taiwanese pop groups, including i.n.g,[3] Michelle*Vickie,[4] G-Boys,[5] and 7 Flowers.[6]

From 2005–2007, Twins and Yu Quan were the only other co-recipients of the Best Group award.[23][24][25]

Ella is the first S.H.E member to be nominated for an acting award.
