[2020 Grammy Awards] – Complete List of Winners and Nominees (62nd) ♪
The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, held on January 26, 2020, celebrated music from October 1, 2018, to August 31, 2019. Billie Eilish achieved an unprecedented sweep of the "Big Four" general field categories: Album of the Year for her darkly unique When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, Record of the Year for her chart-topping "Bad Guy," Song of the Year for "Bad Guy," and Best New Artist.
This remarkable feat marked a new era for alternative pop music and celebrated a distinctive, introspective voice. Other prominent winners included Lizzo for soul and Lil Nas X for his genre-bending hit.
Eilish's dominance signaled a shift towards a younger, more genre-fluid sound resonating with global audiences.
