Bad Bunny took home the trophy for Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammy Awards, held on Monday (IST) at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The Puerto Rican singer also won Best Latin Urban Album. However, Kendrick Lamar led the tally for most wins with five trophies.
Kendrick Lamar has become the most-awarded hip-hop artist in Grammy history, surpassing Jay-Z. Lamar has won 26 Grammys so far, one more than Jay-Z's 25. Comedian Trevor Noah returned as host, while the presenter lineup featured artists such as Harry Styles, Charli XCX and Chappell Roan, along with Jeff Goldblum, Teyana Taylor, Nikki Glaser and Marcello Hernandez.
Rosé and Bruno Mars kicked off the Grammys with a charged performance of their pop hit APT. Sabrina Carpenter followed with Manchild, while Justin Bieber shifted the mood, delivering a restrained rendition of Yukon from his comeback album Swag.
All eight nominees for best new artist came together for a high-energy medley that spilled beyond the main stage, winding through the arena’s back corridors and even the loading dock.
Recording Academy members voted this year in nearly 100 categories. Kendrick Lamar topped the list of 2026 nominees, earning nominations in nine categories.
