Music's Biggest Night, the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards, will air live from Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. In our final installment, we look back to last year when Lady Antebellum rose to GRAMMY stardom.

Album Of The Year
Winner: Arcade Fire, The Suburbs
Eminem, Recovery
Lady Antebellum, Need You Now

In a surprise, indie rock reigned supreme with Arcade Fire picking up Album Of The Year honors for The Suburbs. The quartet closed out the GRAMMY telecast with a performance of "Month Of May." Eminem received his third career nod for Album Of The Year. Though short-handed here, Recovery won Best Rap Album honors. Lady Antebellum's Need You Now was one of country music's biggest hits in 2010. The album won Best Country Album honors. Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster would spawn three awards, including Best Pop Vocal Album. Gaga is nominated for Album Of The Year this year for Born This Way. While Perry would miss out on Album Of The Year, Teenage Dream would go on to spawn a record-tying five No. 1 singles, including "Firework," which is nominated for Record Of The Year this year.

Record Of The Year

B.o.B & Bruno Mars, "Nothin' On You"
Eminem & Rihanna, "Love The Way You Lie"
Cee Lo Green, "Forget You"
Jay-Z & Alicia Keys, "Empire State Of Mind"

Lady Antebellum scored big with five wins at the 53rd GRAMMY Awards. "Need You Now" would also net awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group. B.o.B & Bruno Mars teamed for "Nothin' On You," featured on B.o.B's debut album, B.o.B Presents: The Adventures Of Bobby Ray. The song was produced by the Smeezingtons, the production trio consisting of Mars, Ari Levine and Philip Lawrence. GRAMMY winners Eminem and Rihanna teamed for the hip-hop ballad "Love The Way You Lie," which was accompanied by a video featuring actress Megan Fox. The smash reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200. "Forget You" is the expletive-free version of "F* You," Green's hit that was also produced by the Smeezingtons. Green won two GRAMMYs previously as part of the duo Gnarls Barkley with Modest Mouse. Jay-Z & Alicia Keys teamed for "Empire State Of Mind," an contemporary ode to New York. The song netted wins for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Best Rap Song.

Song Of The Year
Winner: Lady Antebellum, "Need You Now"
Ray LaMontagne, "Beg, Steal Or Borrow"
Cee Lo Green, "Forget You"
Miranda Lambert, "The House That Built Me"
Eminem & Rihanna, "Love The Way You Lie"

Three of the five songs also garnered nods for Record Of The Year. "Need You Now" was written by Lady Antebellum members Hillary Scott, Charles Kelly and Dave Haywood with producer Josh Kear. The New Hampshire-born LaMontagne penned "Beg, Steal Or Borrow," a song from God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise, which won Best Contemporary Folk Album. "Forget You" was co-written by Green with the Smeezingtons and Christopher "Brody" Brown. Performed by Lambert, "The House That Built Me" was co-written by Tom Douglas and Allen Shamblin. The song earned Lambert Best Female Country Vocal Performance honors. "Love The Way You Lie" was co-written by Alex da Kid and Skylar Grey. Grey is nominated for three GRAMMYs this year, including two nods for “I Need A Doctor, a collaboration with Dr. Dre and Eminem.

Best New Artist
Winner: Esperanza Spalding
Justin Bieber
Drake
Florence & The Machine
Mumford & Sons

Arguably the year's biggest upset, jazz artist Spalding walked away with Best New Artist honors. Spalding co-hosted last year's Pre-Telecast Ceremony and is scheduled to present an award at this year's ceremony. Though Bieber lost out here, the teen heartthrob had a banner year in 2010. His sophomore album, My World 2.0, peaked at No. 1 and spawned the hits "Baby" and "Somebody To Love." Canadian hip-hop artist Drake teamed with Rihanna for a performance of "What's My Name?" on the GRAMMY telecast. The song is nominated this year for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, one of Drake's four total nominations. Florence & The Machine is the brainchild of London-born Florence Welch. The indie collective won the Critic's Choice Award at the 2009 BRIT Awards. Mumford & Sons performed on the 53rd GRAMMY telecast with the legendary Bob Dylan. The British folk rockers are up for four awards this year, including Record and Song Of The Year for "The Cave."

When Dolly Parton, flanked by Brad Paisley, handed Faith Hill her GRAMMY for Best Country Album in 2001 — for her classic 1999 album Breathe — it felt like a passing of the torch.*

The first words out of an awestruck Hill's mouth, to Parton: "Wow! And coming from you, thank you so much. I just admire you so much."

Hill went on to deliver a heartfelt speech, in which she thanked her parents for helping facilitate her music dreams and expressed how long and hard her journey to the GRAMMYs stage was.

Breathe helped Hill take home three GRAMMYs that night — the others being Best Female Country Vocal Performance ("Breathe") and Best Country Collaboration With Vocals ("Let's Make Love," with three-time GRAMMY-winning husband Tim McGraw.)

LeAnn Rimes On New Album God's Work, Major-Label Debut Blue & Choosing Joy 25 Years Into Her Career: "I Think It Was My Rebellion"

This year, Daft Punk is celebrating their 20th anniversary. Their groundbreaking album Random Access Memories also celebrates a milestone anniversary in 2023, turning 10 on May 17.

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, we turn back the clock to 2014, when Daft Punk won the prestigious Album of the Year award for Random Access Memories. Notorious for their silent, faceless appearances, musical legend Paul Williams accepted the duo's award while they stood back.

"Back when I was drinking and using, I used to imagine things that weren't there that were frightening. Then, I got sober, and two robots called me and asked me to make an album," Williams joked at the beginning of the speech.

"I just got a message from the robots, and what they wanted me to say is that as elegant and as classy as the GRAMMY has ever been is the moment when we saw those wonderful marriages," Williams said, referring to Macklemore's revolutionary performance of "Same Love" at the same ceremony. "'Same Love' is fantastic, and it was the height of fairness and the power of love for all people at any time, in any combination."

Williams went on to praise Daft Punk's generous spirit, their fellow collaborators, and the love that went into making the album.

After having a whirlwind year thanks to her runaway hit "I Try," Macy Gray celebrated yet another accomplishment thanks to the ubiquitous jam: her first GRAMMY.

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, we flashback to the evening Gray won the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance award for her chart-topping single, "I Try." Though her acceptance speech was short and sweet, she made sure the people who got her there — starting off with her biggest inspirations.  

"I just want to thank all of my mentors, like Prince, Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone," Gray said at the start of her speech. She went on to praise the hip-hop community, her band and her family.

"I'm really flattered by all of you who voted for me. Thanks!" Gray exclaimed as she made her way off the stage.

Gray also scored Record of the Year and Song of the Year nominations for "I Try" that year. The year prior, she was up for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "Do Something" as well as the coveted Best New Artist.

Feist On Her New Album 'Multitudes,' Instinctual Writing & The Innate Integrity Of A Song

The world first fell in love with Erykah Badu in 1997, when she released her debut studio album, Baduizm. Helmed by hits "On & On," "Next Lifetime" and "Appletree," Badu skyrocketed to stardom as Baduizm made its way to the top of the charts — and helped her snag four GRAMMY nominations at the 1998 GRAMMYs, including Best New Artist.

In this episode of GRAMMY Rewind, we revisit one of Badu's two wins from that night, when Baduizm won Best R&B Album. (Badu also won Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for "On & On.")

"Woo!" Badu cheered at the start of her acceptance speech. "I represent the artists who are often unheard, and this is for us."

Badu went on to praise her "dream team" at her record label, Kedar Entertainment, her family, and the people who assisted in the making of Baduizm — including the two artists who influenced the album, George Clinton and Stevie Wonder.

Before heading off the stage, she closed out her speech by acknowledging two more special people in her life: God and her fans. "I would like to thank the creator for giving me this gift. I thank my fans. Peace!" Badu said.
