Grammy Winning Record Every Year (1959-2024)

This video goes through each year of the Grammys showing which songs won the Record of the Year award.
Record of the Year is awarded for a single or for one track from an album. This award goes to the performing artist, the producer, recording engineer and/or mixer for that song. In this sense, "record" means a particular recorded song, not its composition or an album of songs.
This differs from the Song of the Year, Song of the Year is also awarded for a single or individual track, but the recipient of this award is the songwriter who actually wrote the lyrics and/or melodies to the song. "Song" in this context means the song as composed, not its recording.

No Dylan, no Beatles, no Stones. And Phil Collins didn't get a single win in the 80s? Geez

[@firstmategiddy]

This is a confusing title, but "record of the year" means song, while Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Rolling Stones were usually credited with album awards. This is also the American list, so its very partial to soft rock and easy listening.

Couldn’t agree more. The Grammys truly never did get it right. Like hello??? A day in the life. Strawberry fields forever. While my guitar gently weeps ??? Let it be???? Here comes the sun something??? The fact that the Beatles only won 1 Grammy for song of the year in 1965 being Michelle and only one other shows that the Grammys have to be the absolute most wrong and stupid prestige’s award to ever exist even worse than the Oscar’s 😒

At least with Best Picture, the Oscars mostly pick the 2nd or 3rd best option instead of the 1st, and usually you recognize the movie years later. When I tell you there’s albums from just 10 years ago that I don’t recognize that won Album of the Year instead of much better and longer lasting albums.
