Over the course of several decades of their global career, the members of the Iron Maiden group have won hundreds of music awards, including: Grammy Awards and its equivalents awarded in many countries, Brit Awards 2009, Silver Clef Award, Public Choice International, Spanish Music Awards, Top.HR Music Awards, Žebřík Music Awards, Classic Rock Roll of Honor Awards, Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards, Nordoff Robbins Award, Ivor Novello Awards - for outstanding achievements in the international arena and contribution to the development of British music and many others. In 2005, Iron Maiden were inducted into the Hollywood Rock Walk of Fame and Kerrang! Hall of Fame and in 2011 to the BPI Hall of Fame. Individual members of the band were also included in the prestigious Metal Hall of Fame and Rock in Rio Wall of Fame. Iron Maiden are also part of permanent displays at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, British Music Experience, Metal Across America and Wacken Open Air Hall Of Fame. Numerous memorabilia related to the band's activity can be found in Hard Rock Cafes around the world, including in Poland. In September 1996, the band was introduced to Madame Tussaud's Rock Circus. The group's mascot is part of the Rock Legends Wax Museum exhibition located in Ontario, Canada. The band's musicians can also be proud of individual state awards and distinctions and special awards in many areas of activity. During their career, the band received over 700 "silver", "gold" and "platinum" records. The group was also included in countless lists and rankings, often taking leading positions. By 2025, the band has sold over 150 million full-length albums under all labels.
In early January 2023, the British Royal Mail
honored Iron Maiden with a special series of stamps and postcards. The
project paid tribute to the band's role in shaping British rock music
and distinguished Eddie as widely recognizable beyond the boundaries of
the heavy metal genre. Previously, similar collections commemorated the
most legendary artists such as The Beatles, David Bowie, Queen, Elton John, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and Cliff Richard. Iron Maiden was the first among heavy metal artists to receive this honor and the fifth among British bands.
In July 2025,
to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary, the British Royal Mint issued a
series of coins in various denominations, honoring the band's international
fame, its influence on generations of listeners, its contribution to the
promotion of Anglo-Saxon culture, and one of the greatest careers in British
music history. Until then, this distinction had been bestowed upon only a
small number of artists, including Queen, Elton John, members of The Beatles,
and David Bowie. Iron Maiden
were the very first heavy metal band to receive this honor.
