The Grammy Awards remain the only peer-recognized honour in music, voted on by the Recording Academy’s membership body of music creators. This includes recording artists, songwriters, producers, mixers, and engineers representing all genres and creative disciplines. That peer-driven process was reflected clearly in the night’s most prestigious categories, collectively known as the General Field or the Big Four. As the winners list continues to be updated, the 2026 Grammys stand out as a night that balanced mainstream success with artistic depth, global influence, and genre diversity.
