- There have been 66 album of the year winners since the first Grammys ceremony in 1959.
- Taylor Swift made history in 2024 as the first person to win album of the year four times.
- Beyoncé, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, and Billie Eilish are among those nominated this year.
The 67th Annual Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday in Los Angeles.
Every nominee hopes to clinch the top prize of the night: album of the year. The coveted prize has previously gone to Hollywood icons like Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and The Beatles, and is always the last award of the night to be announced.
In 2024, Taylor Swift took the prize and made history as the first person to win album of the year four times. She previously tied with Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, and Paul Simon, who all hold three album of the year wins.
Swift could break her own record again this year for most album of the year wins if “The Tortured Poets Department” takes home the award.
However, she’s got strong competition in the category. Grammy darlings Billie Eilish and Beyoncé, as well as pop superstars Sabrina Carpenter and Charli XCX, whose hit songs “Espresso” and “360” dominated pop culture this summer, are all nominated. Another nominee, Chappell Roan, has had a standout year, with six Grammy nominations to show for it. Rounding out the category are the multi-talented André 3000 and Jacob Collier, whom BI’s Callie Ahlgrim called “dark horses in a pop-heavy album of the year contest.”
Here’s every winner of album of the year throughout history.
