Grammy Awards 2016: Full List Of Winners

American rapper Kendrick Lamar dominated the 58th Grammy Awards with five notable wins during the highly anticipated ceremony held on Monday night. Icons of the music industry gathered at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California for the awards night, which was hosted by two-time Grammy winner LL Cool J.

The 28-year old artist from Compton, California, took home the coveted gramophones after bagging Best Rap Album for “To Pimp a Butterfly,” Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for “Alright” and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “These Walls.” Lamar also got credit for Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood,” which won in the Best Music Video category.

Lamar, who got 11 nominations for this year’s awards, also treated the live crowd and home viewers with a performance of “The Blacker the Berry.” The socially relevant number showed Lamar and several back-up dancers clasped in chains with the backdrop of a prison. As the song went on, they released their chains and danced, dressed in glow-in-the-dark outfits. He also gave a live rendition of the award-winning “Alright,” while African dancers danced around him. His performance garnered a standing ovation from the audience.

Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars took home the Record of the Year Award for “Uptown Funk.” Mars, who earlier performed the song on stage, dedicated their victory to the fans “who danced on this song.” The track also won in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category.

Bagging the Album of the Year is Taylor Swift for her highly successful “1989.” Swift, in her speech, noted that she is the first female ever to win the category twice. As mentioned, Swift also won Music Video of the Year for “Bad Blood.”

Ed Sheeran took home the gramophone for Song of the Year for “Thinking Out Loud” from his album “X.” The 24-year old artist, who co-wrote the track with Amy Wedge, also won the Best Pop Solo Performance for the same song.

Meanwhile, Meghan Trainor got one of the awards biggest honours when she bagged the Best New Artist Award. The artist behind the songs “Dear Future Husband,” “All About the Bass” and “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” tearfully accepted the award. She bested four of today’s biggest newcomers: Courtney Barnett, James Bay, Sam Hunt and Tori Kelly.

The Weeknd, a Canadian singer, songwriter and record producer also collected two Grammy awards: Best Urban Contemporary Album for “Beauty Behind the Madness” and Best R&B Performance for “Earned It” from the movie “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Alabama Shakes, an American rock band formed in Athens, Alabama in 2009, won their first Grammy awards. They brought home three wins: Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance for “Don’t Wanna Fight” and Best Alternative Music Album for “Sound and Color.”
