  • Every year, the Grammys celebrate the music industry's top artists and tracks.
  • Record of the year is one of the four biggest Grammy Awards.

The Grammy Awards honor some of the best songs and music videos of the past year, chosen by members of the Recording Academy.

Among all the awards given out during the show, categories like record of the year, album of the year, and song of the year often generate buzz.

The difference between record of the year and song of the year is that the former refers to "the artist's performance as well as the overall contributions of the producer(s), recording engineer(s) and/or mixer(s) if other than the artist" and the latter "recognizes the songwriter(s)."
