Grammy Award for Record of the Year
|
|
- For the UK award see The Record of the Year
The Record of the Year is one of the two most prestigious Grammy Awards presented annually. It has been awarded since 1959. The honorees through its history have been:
- 1959-1965: Artist only.
- 1966-1998: Artist and producer.
- 1999-present: Artist, producer, and engineer and/or mixer.
Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were handed out, for music released in the previous year. Often, a recording nominated for Record of the Year is also nominated for Song of the Year and the winner of these two awards may be the same.
