Alka Yagnik and Shreya Ghoshal garnered four wins each in 2000s. In 80s no singer dominated the epoch (Bhosle not considered from hereon) however in 90s Anuradha Paudwal and Kavita Krishnamurthy both had three wins each. Bhosle continued her domination in the 70s with five wins (Mangeshkar not considered from hereon). Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle were the most successful singers in 60s with two wins each. She is also the earliest recipient of this award in 1959. Until the award was not officially divided up for different gender (1968) Lata Mangeshkar was the only artist to win and be nominated for this award.

There have been ties for two consecutive years between 20. After receiving her seventh award in 1979, Asha Bhosle emulated her elder sister and requested that her name not be considered for the nominations thereafter. In 1971, Lata Mangeshkar made the unusual gesture of not having her name be considered for the Filmfare Best Female Playback Award, in order to promote fresh talent. Yagnik's four nominations in that year along with Bhosle's four out of the five nominations in 1975 also give them the record for most number of Best Female Playback Singer nominations in a single year. Two singers have achieved the feat of receiving all the nominations of this category in a particular year: Asha Bhosle was the single nominee in 1973, having all the three nominations to her credit, and Alka Yagnik was the single nominee in 1994, having all the four nominations to her credit, one of which she shared-and eventually jointly won-with Ila Arun. Bhosle won the award in a record of four consecutive years (1972–75), followed by the three consecutive wins of Paudwal (1991–1993), Krishnamurthy (1995–1997) and Yagnik (2000–2002), respectively. Lata Mangeshkar, Anuradha Paudwal and Kavita Krishnamurthy have won the award four times.
