Harry Styles has beaten Adele, Lizzo, Kendrick Lamar, Beyonce and more to clinch the coveted Album of the Year award at the 2023 GRAMMYs.

The former One Direction member won for his 2022 smash-hit third solo album Harry’s House.

On what was a record-breaking night for the US Recording Academy and in the music world as a whole, Harry Styles claimed the somewhat shocking win for Album of the Year, an award which is largely-considered to be the biggest win of the night.

It’s safe to say that at the 65th GRAMMY Awards, he fought off some tough competition for the trophy.

Beyoncé, Adele, Kendrick Lamar, and Lizzo were just some of the heavy-hitting names that the British lad beat out to take home to beat the title.

The 29-year-old called making the album the “greatest experience” of his life.

“I’ve been so, so inspired by every artist in this category with me at a lot of different times in my life,” Styles gushed as he accepted the award on stage alongside the album’s producers, “I think, like on nights like tonight, it’s obviously so important for us to remember that there is no such thing as best in music.”

Styles added: “This doesn’t happen to people like me very often and this is so, so nice.”

The coveted Album of the Year title isn’t the only award Styles took home from last night’s ceremony, as the the celebrated singer and actor also won Best Pop Vocal Album too.

Styles was just one of several Brits who won big last night.

Singing superstar Adele took home the Best Pop Solo Performance trophy to add to her ever-growing GRAMMYs collection, while previous multi-award winner Sam Smith took home the Best Pop Duo Performance for the song Unholy, alongside Kim Petras – who became the first transgender woman to win the award.

Isle of Wight indie rock duo Wet Leg took home both Best Alternative Album for their self-titled album and Best Alternative Music Performance for the smash-hit single Chaise Longue after their breakout year in 2022.

Ozzy Osbourne also clinched the win for Best Rock Album.

One of the most surprising wins of the night, though, came as for 73-year-old blues singer Bonnie Raitt beat the likes of Adele, Beyonce, Styles, Lizzo, and Taylor Swift to win the award for Song of the Year for her single Just Like That.
