Which artist won the Grammy for Best Dance Recording in 2009?

Daft Punk won the Grammy for Best Dance Recording in 2009 with “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.” The track appeared on the duo’s live album Alive 2007 and captured the polished, loop-driven sound that made Daft Punk influential in electronic and dance music.

The award was presented at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in February 2009. Daft Punk also won Best Dance/Electronic Album that year for Alive 2007, giving the French duo a two-award night. Their winning recording was originally released in studio form on Discovery in 2001 and later became especially well known through live performances and remixes.

Readers often confuse this result with 2010, when Lady Gaga won the same category for “Poker Face.” Madonna was also a 2009 nominee for “Give It 2 Me,” but she did not win. The Grammy category was later renamed Best Dance/Electronic Recording, reflecting the broader range of electronic styles recognized by the Recording Academy.
