Supernatural won nine Grammys at the 2000 Grammy Awards, setting a record for one album at that time.
The album was released by Santana in 1999 and built around collaborations with contemporary performers, including Rob Thomas, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Michelle Branch. Its blend of Latin rock with modern pop and R&B helped return the band to worldwide commercial prominence.
Supernatural won Album of the Year and also produced major award-winning singles such as “Smooth,” “Maria Maria,” and “Put Your Lights On.” “Smooth” won Record of the Year and Song of the Year, while Santana won Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
The achievement is sometimes confused with an artist’s total career wins or with the number of awards won by a single song. The nine-award figure refers to the album’s haul at the 42nd Grammy Awards.
