It has been awarded since 1959 and though it was originally presented to the artist alone, the award is now presented to the artist, the producer, the engineer and/or mixer and the mastering engineer.

  • The Grammy Award for Album of the Year is one of the most prestigious award category at the Grammys. It has been awarded since 1959 and though it was originally presented to the artist alone, the award is now presented to the artist, the producer, the engineer and/or mixer and the mastering engineer. In 1962, the award name was extended to Album of the Year (other than classical) but reverted to the shorter name by 1965. It was not until 1968, 1969, and 1999 that the award was won by a rock album, country album, or a hip hop album respectively. Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon are the biggest winners in this category with 3 victories each. Paul McCartney leads all performers with nine nominations: five as a member of The Beatles, three for solo albums, and one as a member of Wings. Frank Sinatra leads solo performers with eight nominations, seven for solo albums and one for a duet album. Paul McCartney and Paul Simon are the only artists with nominations in every decade the awards have been in existence (not counting the inaugural ceremony in 1959), if counting the nominations from the 1960s as part of their respective groups, The Beatles, and Simon & Garfunkel. They've only competed against each other once: in 1969, when The Beatles were nominated for Magical Mystery Tour and Simon & Garfunkel were up for Bookends. They both lost to Glen Campbell and his album By the Time I Get to Phoenix. Alanis Morissette is the category's youngest winner, releasing her winning album at 21. The youngest person to make an appearance on an Album of the Year is Bamboo (the son of OutKast's Big Boi), who appeared on an interlude on Speakerboxxx/The Love Below at age four. Only two artists have ever been awarded the Grammy for "Album of the Year" in two consecutive years, and nobody has ever won for three or more years in a row. Sinatra had wins in 1966 and 1967, and Wonder followed with wins in 1974 and 1975. Wonder also won the most Grammys for Album of the Year within a decade, with three in the 1970s. Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were awarded, for music released in the previous year. Many wonder what the difference is between Record of the Year and Album of the Year. Record of the Year is awarded for a single or for one track from an album. This award goes to the performing artist, the producer, recording engineer, and/or mixer for that song. Album of the Year is awarded for a whole album, and the award is presented to the artist, producer, recording engineer, and mastering engineer for that album. So, in this context, "record" means one song and "album" means the whole collection of songs on a CD or LP.
  • El Premio Grammy por Álbum del Año es la categoría de premio más prestigiosa de los Grammy. Se otorga desde 1959 y aunque en un principio sólo lo recibía el artista, actualmente lo reciben el artista, el productor, el ingeniero y/o mezclador y el ingeniero de masterización. En 1962, el nombre del premio fue cambiado por Álbum del Año (más que clásicos), pero volvió a su nombre original en 1965. Recién en 1968 un álbum de rock 'n' roll ganó el premio; un álbum de hip-hop no ganó el premio sino hasta 1999. Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, & Paul Simon son los más grandes ganadores en esta categoría con tres victorias cada uno. El año representa el año en el cual los Premios Grammy fueron otorgados, por los trabajos publicados en el año precedente. Muchos se preguntan qué es lo que diferencia al Disco del Año del Álbum del Año. Disco del Año premia a un single o canción de un álbum. Este premio va al intérprete, al productor, ingeniero de grabación, y/o mezclador por esa canción. Álbum del Año premia al álbum completo, y el premio lo recibe el artista, productor, y el ingeniero de grabación por ese álbum. Por tanto, en este contexto, "disco" significa una canción y "álbum" significa la colección completa de canciones de un CD o LP. A diferencia del Disco del Año, el cual premia al artista y al equipo de producción de una canción single, Canción del Año premia al compositor(es) de la canción. Por lo tanto, Disco del Año premia a la mejor grabación.
