Taylor Swift’s historic fourth Album of the Year win
After Taylor Swift’s Album of the Year win for “Midnights,” Noah claimed she was the first person to win Album of the Year four times. That is not exactly correct — engineers Tom Coyne, Serban Ghenea, and John Hanes had won four times before “Midnights” — but Swift is indeed the first woman and first performer to win this many times, following her victories for “Fearless,” “1989” and “Folklore.” This historic win is a testament to Swift’s ability to make consistently successful albums,...

Taylor Swift secured a historic fourth Album of the Year win, while Miley Cyrus and Sza enjoyed big nights of their own at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
Swift’s world-conquering 2022 LP, Midnights, took home the night’s top prize, making her the first artist to win the award four times. She first won Album of the Year in 2010 for Fearless, then again in 2016 for 1989 and in 2021 for Folklore. (Mixing and mastering engineers Tom Coyne, Serban Ghenea, and John Hanes previously won, though Swift is the first artist.)

It’s not an overstatement to say Taylor Swift’s “Midnights” is already one of the biggest albums of the 21st century. The album broke sales and streaming records, netting 1.57 million total album units in its first week based on its combined album sales, track sales, and online streams. That was actually Swift’s career-best first week despite being her 10th album. With that success, paired with the critical acclaim Swift’s been enjoying lately, it’s no wonder that the album is currently poised for some Grammy recognition, leading the odds right now on Gold Derby for Album of the Year, and being a heavy contender for other categories as well. And just like how the album broke sales records for Swift, it could break some Grammy records for her as well.

The 2022 Grammys were filled with quite a number of surprising wins, though still a lot of predictable ones. But much like every year, a lot of stars managed to earn their place in Grammy history with fascinating and record-breaking wins. Let’s take a look at a few.
SEETop 4 lessons we learned from Grammys 2022 “Leave The Door Open”
Songwriter and producer Dernst Emile II, also known as D’Mile, made history as the first person to win Song of the Year back-to-back. Emile won last year for his contributions to H.E.R.’s “I Can’t Breathe,” a win that was quickly followed by an Oscar for another H.E.R. collaboration: “Fight for You” from “Judas and the Black Messiah.” This year D’Mile won for his work on Silk Sonic’s “Leave the Door Open,” for which he also took home a Record of the Year Grammy as a producer...

The 2022 Grammy Awards broadcast wrapped up with an upset victory of sorts, with Jon Batiste beating out the likes of Taylor Swift and Kanye west to take home Album of the Year for his excellent “We Are.”
That was his fifth win of the night, following four wins during the “Premiere Ceremony,” where all of the awards not deemed cool enough for television were handed out, hosted by the always wonderful Levar Burton.
Batiste also accomplished a rather ignominious milestone for the Grammy Awards themselves: He’s the first Black artist to win Album of the Year since Herbie Hancock back in 2008. You read that right: It’s literally been 14 years and 3 presidents since the Academy recognized the work of Black artists with this honor. And in case you’re wondering, the only nonwhite artist to win Best Album during that time was Bruno Mars in 2018.
Speaking of Mars, Batiste...
