Which album by Bruno Mars won Album of the Year at the 2018 Grammys?

The story behind the answer

Which album by Bruno Mars won Album of the Year at the 2018 Grammys? The answer is 24K Magic. Bruno Mars won the award at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, held on January 28, 2018, for his third studio album.

Released in November 2016, 24K Magic marked a shift toward retro-inspired funk, R&B and soul. Its title track introduced the album’s celebratory style, while “That’s What I Like” became one of its biggest singles. The record’s polished sound drew on influences associated with 1970s, 1980s and 1990s popular music.

Mars had an especially dominant night at the 2018 Grammys. In addition to Album of the Year, 24K Magic won Record of the Year and Best R&B Album. “That’s What I Like” also won Song of the Year, Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.

A common mix-up is Silk Sonic, Mars’s later duo with Anderson .Paak. Silk Sonic had not yet released its debut album when the 2018 ceremony took place, so it could not be that year’s Album of the Year winner.
