\"Grammy<\/p>\n

I will admit that, despite being a music journalist, my knowledge or in fact, my interest in the Grammys<\/a> is relatively scratchy.<\/p>\n

Because in the modern day, I truly believe a Grammy Award means nothing<\/a> in relation to the merit of the music. It is but another, if not the biggest, exercise in self-aggrandising backslapping that takes place in entertainment. The music has become far less important than the exposure the evening provides, and so, I can firmly state that the awards bear no influence over my listening habits.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take the rock nominations for the 2024 awards. The Rolling Stones continued to milk the world\u2019s insatiable appetite for nostalgia by taking home the \u2018Best Rock Album\u2019, ahead of more relevant nominees Fontaines DC, Idles and countless others who were unsurprisingly overlooked by the powers that be. <\/p>\n

Ten years before that, perhaps the biggest musical robbery of all took place at the Grammys. Kendrick Lamar\u2019s To Pimp A Butterfly,<\/a> which stakes a fair claim at being considered one of the greatest albums of all time, lost out on \u2018Best Album\u2019 to Taylor Swift\u2019s 1989.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, it would be far too easy to adopt a stance of obnoxiousness and claim a bubblegum pop record has no place winning the award. But that, however, simply isn\u2019t true. Swift\u2019s work and 1989 has just as much validity as anything we\u2019re quick to label as high-brow and should be judged through the lens of the genre it represents. <\/p>\n

So Taylor Swift had nothing to do with Lamar\u2019s snub being shocking. It was shocking because of how glaringly obvious the album was as a winner, and sadly symptomatic of the ceremony\u2019s misunderstanding of rap as a credible musical genre. Its bias acts a representative microcosm of American culture, where the system is designed against urban subcultures who will never be fairly recognised despite their merit. <\/p>\n

Lamar\u2019s track \u2018Alright\u2019 was also beaten to \u2018Record of the Year\u2019 by Ed Sheeran, who won it for \u2018Thinking Out Loud\u2019, which ultimately meant the greatest album of the 21st century left its annual award show with just one trophy: \u2018Best Rap Album\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So forgive me if I\u2019ve lost faith in The Grammys. But, for me to try and salvage it back, it\u2019s worth looking back through history and finding out where it turned. At what point did these snubs become regular, or perhaps more importantly, who has been dominating?<\/p>\n

So, who has won the most \u2018Record of the Year\u2019 Grammys?<\/p>\n

Whenever you do any research into the Grammys and its records, one name seems to be at the forefront of the discourse: Beyonc\u00e9<\/a>. She holds the record for the most Grammy wins of all time and seems to be quietly assumed as the queen of the award ceremony.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But, she only has one \u2018Best Song\u2019 to her name, for her 2010 track \u2018Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)\u2019. But the rest of her awards have come in other categories, as she hasn\u2019t yet made it to the double winners club in this category. <\/p>\n

So far, that exclusive club is populated by Billie Eilish, Adele, U2, Eric Clapton, Bette Midler and Roberta Flack and Barbara Streisand, who share the combined lead of \u2018Record of the Year\u2019 wins. Thankfully for my own sanity, Kendrick Lamar bagged his first win this year for \u2018Not Like Us\u2019. <\/p>\n

Still, it was a decade too late.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
