Which soundtrack won Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media at the 2026 Grammys?

The story behind the answer

Sinners won Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media at the 2026 Grammys.

The winning album is the various-artists soundtrack to Ryan Coogler’s 2025 supernatural thriller Sinners. It was credited to compilation producers Ryan Coogler, Ludwig Göransson and Serena Göransson, with Nikki Sherod serving as music supervisor.

The category recognizes a collection of songs connected to a film, television program or other visual production. That distinction matters here: Sinners also appeared in the separate Best Score Soundtrack Album category, where Ludwig Göransson’s original score was nominated. The compilation award was for the soundtrack’s songs and performances, not solely for Göransson’s instrumental score.

The nominees included A Complete Unknown, F1 the Album, KPop Demon Hunters and Wicked. KPop Demon Hunters is an especially easy mix-up because its song “Golden” won Best Song Written for Visual Media, a different category. The 68th Grammy Awards took place on February 1, 2026.
