Which artist has won Album of the Year four times at the Grammys?

The story behind the answer

Taylor Swift has won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year four times.

Swift’s winning albums are Fearless, 1989, Folklore, and Midnights. Her fourth victory came at the 2024 Grammy Awards, when Midnights was named Album of the Year. This made her the first artist to win the category four times.

Her victories span several phases of her career, from country-influenced songwriting on Fearless to synth-pop on 1989 and the indie-influenced sound of Folklore. Midnights continued her success with a modern pop record built around nocturnal themes.

Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, and Paul Simon each won Album of the Year three times. The category is one of the Grammys’ four General Field awards and is awarded for the complete album rather than a single track.
