For the record, they’re closing in

Stevie Wonder, Alison Krauss and U2 vaulted a few places up the ladder of all-time Grammy winners with their victories Wednesday.

Wonder’s 23rd and 24th Grammys keep him in fifth place but move him just behind Pierre Boulez and Vladimir Horowitz, who both have 25. Only Georg Solti (31) and Quincy Jones (27) have more.

With its five wins, U2 leapfrogs a host of acts and moves past Henry Mancini with 22, just behind Wonder. (Two of their trophies are credited to the four members as individuals rather than a band, for writing “Beautiful Day” and “Vertigo.”)

Krauss, meantime, ties Mancini (20) with her three wins.
