The big winners

The award is aimed at recognizing and celebrating those whose work in the past year has been significant and monumental. While the winners are especially applauded, the nominees were no less recognized.

These are artists, songwriters, singers, producers, and performers that have worked together to create really good music.

For the 2018 edition, we have to give it up for Bruno Mars! The talented singer and songwriter took home six big wins, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best R&B Performance.
