2017 Grammy Awards – Complete List of Winners and Nominees

Held on February 12, 2017, the 59th Annual Grammy Awards celebrated music from October 1, 2015, to September 30, 2016. Adele's monumental album 25 continued her Grammy reign, winning Album of the Year, and her powerful ballad "Hello" secured Record of the Year, mirroring her previous dominance.
Chance the Rapper, an independent artist who broke barriers, made history by winning Best New Artist, signifying the growing influence of streaming. Other prominent winners included David Bowie for his posthumous album and Twenty One Pilots.
