The Grammys' big four categories are among the award show's most coveted. Album of the year, song of the year, record of the year and best new artist all celebrate the best of the best in music, with winners representing a wide range of genres.

Record of the year honors a song that exceeds artistic achievement and quality, regardless of chart position or sales numbers. This award is for a song's recording and goes to the performing artist, producer, recording engineer and/or mixer. This contrasts from song of the year which is for a track's composition and is given to its writers.

Here is every record of the year Grammy Award winner and the tracks nominated at this year's 67th annual ceremony.
