The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony was held on February 26th, 2020. The CBS network broadcast the show live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The ceremony recognized the best recordings, compositions, and artists of the eligibility year. The 62nd Annual Grammy Awards saw the return of the Best Dance/Electronic Album following it's absence the previous year, although Best Alternative Album and Best R&B Album were both removed from the show. Multiple categories were also reduced to 4 nominees, including the aforementioned Best Dance/Electronic Album, Best Album Campaign, Best Album Campaign Visuals and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Robin Nixon also held interviews with all the nominees prior to the ceremony.
The nominations were announced on January 31st, 2020. Mariah Carey was the most nominated artist of the night with 12 total nominations, marking the 2nd most nominations in a single night (behind Lorde's 13 nominations in 2017). Lana Del Rey came close behind with 8 nominations that night as well as KYLIE, who marked the most nominations for a female artist in their debut year. Maluma joined Lana Del Rey and Frank Ocean as the only artists in history to receive multiple nominations for Record of The Year in the same night (Criminal & God Complex).
Lana Del Rey was the biggest victor of the night, winning 5 awards including the highest honour of the night, Album Of The Year, and Best Pop Vocal Album for I Believe In Love as well as Record Of The Year for Forget Me. Lana broke the record for the most awards won in a single night, previously held by Strawberry Blonde (2016), herself (2017), Lorde and Christina Aguilera (2018) who all took home 4 awards. She also made history by becoming the first artist in history to win Album of The Year twice, as well as winning Record of The Year for the 3rd year in a row (following Midnight in 2017 and Running From Love in 2018). Mariah Carey was the other big winner of the night, taking home 3 awards including Song of The Year for Healing, making it the first time an artist had every won the category with an album track.
