Billie Eilish has won Record Of The Year for "bad guy" at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards.

Watch: Billie Eilish Wins Record Of The Year

Eight songs were in the running this year. Billie Eilish beat out "Hey, Ma" by Bon Iver, "7 rings" by Ariana Grande, "Hard Place" by H.E.R., "Talk" by Khalid, "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X, featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, "Truth Hurts" by Lizzo and "Sunflower" by Post Malone and Swae Lee.

Eilish's win for Record Of The Year—a cross-genre award given to the song's recording artist, the producer(s), recording engineer(s) and/or mixer(s) and mastering engineer(s)—tops a huge night for the breakout genre-bending singer, who tied her own brother, super-producer FINNEAS, for the most awards at the 2020 GRAMMYs, with each taking home five golden gramophones tonight (Sunday, Jan. 26). With Eilish winning Record Of The Year, the final award of the night, she swept the General Field, commonly known as the Big Four, with additional wins for Album Of The Year (When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?​), Best New Artist and Song Of The Year ("Bad Guy").

Billie Eilish and FINNEAS just won Song Of The Year for their hit "bad guy" at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards. Eillish and her producer/big brother accepted the award together on stage.

Earlier in the show, the 18-year-old pop powerhouse performed "when the party's over" for her GRAMMY stage musical debut. She also won Best Pop Vocal Album, for her massive 2019 debut LP, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, which "bad guy" is on. FINNEAS earned Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical as well, for his work on the album.

By the end of Music's Biggest Night, each sibling went home with five golden gramophones each, including for Record Of The Year for "bad guy" and Album Of The Year for the LP. Celebrating her triumphant, non-conformist rise to pop stardom, Bilish also earned Best New Artist. Congrats you two!

Billie Eilish Wins Song Of The Year

Eight songs were in the running for Song Of The Year. The 2019 bop "bad guy" beat out fellow nominees "Always Remember Us This Way" by Lady Gaga, "Bring My Flowers Now" by Tanya Tucker, "Hard Place" by H.E.R., "Lover" by Taylor Swift, "Norman F**king Rockwell" by Lana Del Rey, "Someone You Loved" by Lewis Capaldi and "Truth Hurts" by Lizzo.

Lizzo has won Best Pop Solo Performance for "Truth Hurts" at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards. 

She beat out fellow nominees Taylor Swift ("You Need To Calm Down"), Ariana Grande ("7 Rings"), Billie Eilish ("bad guy") and Beyoncé ("Spirit").

Lizzo was genuinely caught off guard by the win. "Thank you to The Academy, first of all," she said in her acceptance speech while fighting back tears. "This is really &$@*ing sick, unexpected, really cool. This whole week, I be lost in my problems, stressed out. And then in an instant, all of that can go away, and your priorities really shift. And today, all of my little problems that I thought were big as the world were gone."

"I realized that there's people hurting right now," she continued. "You guys create beautiful music, you guys create connectivity. And as I'm speaking to all of y'all in this room, we need to continue to reach out. This is the beginning of making music that moves people again, making music that feels &$@*ing good, that liberates people." 

She concluded on a high note by shouting out her musical collaborators, record labels (Atlantic Records/Nice Life) and friends. "Thank you so much for lifting me up. Let's continue to reach out, hold each other down and lift each other up."

Lizzo, who made her GRAMMY stage debut by opening the big show with a rousing, flute-heavy performance of her hits "Cuz I Love You" and the now-GRAMMY-winning "Truth Hurts," received the most nominations at the 2020 GRAMMYs with a total of eight nods. At the time of publishing, she has won three GRAMMY Awards, including Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best Urban Contemporary Album.

Who Do You Think Voters Will Pick For Best Pop Vocal Album?

2019 was a big year for Queen Bey and the Beyhive. She not only offered a rare look into the meticulous work she does in her Homecoming documentary (which is up for Best Music Film) and live album, but she also dropped The Lion King: The Gift, an album featuring some of Africa's brightest musical stars. As the voice of Nala in the Lion King reboot, Beyoncé executive produced this project inspired by the film, on which she offered her angelic vocals to 10 of the tracks, sharing the spotlight with an epic cast of fellow black artists, including many African acts. Her single "Spirit" is featured on both The Gift and the film's soundtrack and is nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Song Written For Visual Media.

Nigerian powerhouses Mr Eazi, Burna Boy, WizKid, Tiwa Savage, Tekno and Yemi Alade, Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale, Cameroonian artist Salatiel and South Africa's Busiswa and Moonchild Sanelly all make appearances on the 27-track album. Bey's co-star Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino, her husband JAY-Z and past-collaborator Kendrick Lamar, along with rising American artists Tierra Whack, 070 Shake and Jessie Reyez also contribute.

It's safe to say that first-time GRAMMY nominee Billie Eilish has accomplished more than most of us had by age 17. The rising anti-pop star released her highly anticipated debut album this past March, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, featuring hit bops "bad guy," "all the good girls go to hell" and "bury a friend."

The album has no featured artists—although Eilish collabed with her tween crush Justin Bieber on the non-album "bad guy" remix—and was produced solely by her older brother FINNEAS at their home studio in Los Angeles. The sibling duo is up for a large handful more of nominations this year, including Album Of The Year and Record Of The Year, while Eilish also earns a coveted Best New Artist nod.

Earlier this year, at the 61st GRAMMY Awards, pop princess Ariana Grande won her first-ever GRAMMY, for Best Pop Vocal Album for her 2018 No. 1 album Sweetener. 2019 also saw the release of its follow up, her fifth studio album, thank u, next, on Feb. 8, which was preceded by its second viral lead single, "7 rings," on Jan. 18. 

The album began with the surprise release of the catchy, autobiographical "thank u, next" on Nov. 3, 2018—which became Grande's first No. 1. Following her very public breakup with ex-fiancé Pete Davidson, she took a break from the media frenzy and paired up with friends and co-writers that include Victoria Monet, Tayla Parx, Njomza and others, resulting in "thank u, next."

Grande and her dream collab squad kept the creativity flowing to produce the 12-track thank u, next, which also featured "NASA," "break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored" and "imagine." The vocal powerhouse is also up for a handful of other GRAMMYs, including Best Pop Solo Performance and Record Of The Year for "7 rings" and Album Of The Year for thank u, next.

Pop king Ed Sheeran may have gotten his start with a more acoustic singer/songwriter approach, but before he was Top 40 radio favorite, he self-released an album in 2011 called No.5 Collaborations Project. Eight years later, with many pop and rap star friends to call on, the "Shape Of You" singer released No.6 Collaborations Project, featuring the likes of Cardi B, Chance the Rapper, Bieber, Camila Cabello and more.

The album's singles include "I Don't Care," "Cross Me," featuring Chance and PnB Rock, "Beautiful People" with Khalid and "South Of The Border" with Cardi and Cabello. Ella Mai, Travis Scott, Skrillex and other big-name acts also worked with the British pop star on the 2019 album.

After months of rainbow-tinted, glitter-sprinkled social media teasers and string of singles, including "You Need To Calm Down," Taylor Swift released her seventh studio album, Lover, on Aug. 23. Working largely with GRAMMY-winning superproducer/artist Jack Antonoff (he's been part of indie-rock acts Fun. and Bleachers), the glimmering, adventurous pop project sees Swift celebrating all the emotions of love and relationships across its 18 songs.

The guitar-slinging pop queen sings with country-pop greats the Dixie Chicks on "Soon You'll Get Better" and Brandon Urie of Panic! At the Disco on "ME!" the latter of which served as the initial lead single. "You Need To Calm Down" and the title track "Lover" are also up for GRAMMYs; Best Pop Solo Performance and Song Of The Year, respectively.
