The Chemical Brothers won Best Dance Recording for "Got To Keep On" at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards. This is their fifth-ever GRAMMY win.

The next award presented, for Best Dance/Electronic Album, also went to the legendary U.K. dance duo, for the song's album, No Geography, putting them at six total GRAMMY wins to date.

No Geography is their ninth studio album and was released in April 2019, along with a massive world tour and banger dance cuts like "Got To Keep On," "Eve Of Destruction" and "Free Yourself."

The Chemical Brothers beat out fellow Best Dance Recording nominees Bonobo ("Linked"), Meduza featuring Goodboys ("Piece Of Your Heart"), RÜFÜS DU SOL ("Underwater") and Skrillex, Boys Noize & Ty Dolla $ign ("Midnight Hour").

The Chemical Brother's last win was back at the 50th GRAMMY Awards in 2008, for Best Dance/Electronic Album for We Are The Night.

Their first-ever nominations and wins came back at the 40th GRAMMY Awards in 1998, the first year Best Dance Recording was awarded at the GRAMMYs. The then-emerging house outfit actually won the Best Rock Instrumental Performance gramophone for one of their first big hits, "Block Rockin' Beats," while the that first dance win went to disco legends Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder for "Carry On."

Angélique Kidjo won Best World Music Album for Celia at the 62nd GRAMMY Awards. This marks her fourth win in the category and fourth GRAMMY win overall. 

During her acceptance speech, Kidjo celebrated a new generation of African artists coming up to represent the continent while thanking luminaries who came before her for their contriutions to world music, including Celia Cruz.

"Four years ago on this stage, I was telling you that the new generations of artists coming from Africa gonna take you by storm and the time has come," Kidjo said. "Celia Cruz, for me she's the goddess of salsa. She's the queen of salsa. She is one of those artists that taught me at a young age that my gender cannot define who I am, that I can do everything I wanted to do."
