Update | The Grammys: Bruno Mars sweeps top prizes, winning record, song and album of the year
Bruno Mars won every category in which he was he nominated – in stark contrast to Jay-Z who was up for eight trophies but won none
Bruno Mars went six for six at the Grammys, winning all of the awards he was nominated for with his energetic and upbeat 90s-inspired R&B album.
Mars won album of the year for “24K Magic,” record of the year for the title track, and song of the year for the No 1 hit, “That’s What I Like,” on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
“Oh my God. Thank you guys so much. Wow,” said Mars.
Mars has now won 11 career Grammys.
Jay-Z, the leading nominee with eight, walked away empty-handed. He lost in the rap categories to Kendrick Lamar, who won five awards, including best rap album for “DAMN.” and best rap song for “HUMBLE.” He has a career total of 12 Grammys.
