Big Four (Grammy Awards)

Awards that are unrestricted by genre


Awards that are unrestricted by genre

The Big Four Grammy Awards are four Grammy Awards presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences which go to musical acts and works which are not restricted by genre or another criterion. The Big Four are part of the General Field, which encompasses six categories, including Producer of the Year (created 1975) and Songwriter of the Year (created 2023) which were both added in 2023; these latter two add categories are restricted only by not being of the Classical genre. Unlike the other Grammy Awards, the nomination and voting process within the General Field is open to all Academy voting members.

The most prestigious and important awards at the ceremony, the Big Four comprise:

  • Album of the Year – awarded to the performer, songwriter(s), and the production team of a full album
  • Record of the Year – awarded to the performer and the production team of a single song
  • Song of the Year – awarded to the songwriter(s) of a single song
  • Best New Artist – awarded to an artist without reference to a song or album The first three categories are also known as the Big Three.

Only 2 artists have swept all 4 categories in a single year: Christopher Cross in 1981 for his self-titled album Christopher Cross and the single "Sailing" and Billie Eilish in 2020 for her album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and the single "Bad Guy". Norah Jones won album and record in 2003 for Come Away with Me and her recording of "Don't Know Why" but she was not awarded song of year despite "Don't Know Why" winning because her recording was a cover of the song originally written by Jesse Harris.

Artists and bands with multiple wins

Eight artists have received the award more than once (either as a main-credit artist, duo or band; not counting wins solely as a producer, mixer or engineer).. Taylor Swift holds the record for Album of the Year with 4. Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell with their recent 2026 win, hold the record for Song of the Year with 3 wins. Bruno Mars and Paul Simon hold the record for most wins for Record of the Year with 3 each.
