Adele’s 25 was named the Grammys Album of the Year, upsetting Beyoncé’s Lemonade and making the singer/songwriter only the second female to win the top award twice (Taylor Swift did it first). She also picked up Record and Song of the Year for “Hello” and Pop Album, making her haul of five Grammys (all of her nominations) the most of the night. She becomes the first person to win the top 3 awards (AOTY, ROTY and SOTY) twice.
Chance the Rapper, whose album was streamed for free, won Best New Artist and Best Rap Album (Coloring Book) and brought the house down with a gospel choir performance of “How Great” / “All We Got” With Kirk Franklin. Other performances were hit and miss (Katy Perry was a miss) but Beyoncé’s stunning art performance was one for the ages. She picked up the Urban Contemporary Album honor tonight and Best Music Video before the show.
One of the biggest winners of the night was David Bowie, who was posthumously awarded four Grammys for the album Blackstar, which was released just days before his death in January 2016. Adding the engineering win for the album and Bowie went 5-5 tonight.
