Which Beyoncé album earned the 2010 Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Album?

I Am... Sasha Fierce earned Beyoncé the 2010 Grammy for Best Contemporary R&B Album.

Beyoncé released I Am... Sasha Fierce on November 12, 2008. The double album contrasts two performance identities: the more personal and introspective “I Am...” disc and the bold stage persona represented by “Sasha Fierce.”

Its best-known songs include “If I Were a Boy,” “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” and “Halo.” “Single Ladies” became one of Beyoncé’s signature songs, while “Halo” became a major international hit. The album was certified six-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

At the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2010, the album won Best Contemporary R&B Album. Beyoncé won six awards that night, then the record for the most Grammy wins by a female artist in a single ceremony. The album title is often shortened incorrectly to “Sasha Fierce,” but that name refers to only one side of the double project.
