Which U2 song won the Grammy for Record of the Year in 2001?

“Which U2 song won the Grammy for Record of the Year in 2001?” The answer is “Beautiful Day.” U2 won Record of the Year at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards, held on February 21, 2001, in Los Angeles. The award recognized the recording’s overall production and performance, while the song also won Song of the Year that evening.

“Beautiful Day” was the lead single from U2’s 2000 album All That You Can’t Leave Behind. It marked a return to a more direct, melodic rock sound after the band’s highly experimental 1990s albums, including Pop. The single became one of U2’s signature modern-era songs and reached number one in several countries.

A common mix-up is “Walk On,” another major song from the same album. “Walk On” later won Record of the Year at the 2002 Grammys, making All That You Can’t Leave Behind the only album to produce Record of the Year winners in two different years.
