It was the biggest night of the year for the recording industry when the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences<\/a> awarded their 56th Annual Grammy Awards.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This year’s awards recognised the quirky and the unusual, with French robot dance act Daft Punk winning five, including Album of the Year (‘Random Access Memories’), and Record of the Year (‘Get Lucky’), and New Zealand teenager Lorde took away the awards Song of the Year (‘Royals’) and Best Pop Solo Performance, also for ‘Royals’.<\/p>\n

Surely the most controversial winners of the night however were Rapper Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis, who found fame after self-releasing their album ‘The Heist’, and were nominated in seven categories. The pair were awarded the prizes for Best Rap Song (‘Thrift Shop’), Best Rap Performance (‘Thrift Shop’) Best Rap Album (‘The Heist’), and Best New Artist.<\/p>\n
