The 59th Grammy Awards on Sunday night handed out 84 awards to the music industry’s best and brightest.
British born singer Adele, was the lone star of the night as she scooped five awards, beating American Beyoncé for most of the prestigious titles at stake at the event in Los Angeles.
Adele Adkins scooped Best Pop Solo Performance for her hit song Hello, brushing aside Beyoncé’s Hold Up.
She also won Best Song of the Year with Hello, also shrugging off the challenge of Beyoncé’s Formation,a track from the album Lemonade.
She won Best Pop vocal album beating Justin Bieber among other contenders. And to to crown the night her Album 25 won Album of the year, while Hello took the Record of the Year.
Expectations were that Beyoncé would given Adele a big fight for the title, having been nominated in nine categories. But there was no contest as the Briton was the lone star of the Grammy night.
The only award that Beyoncé won in the night was for Best Video.
At the nomination stage, Beyoncé emerged top with nine nominations for the event, emerging the most nominated woman in the history of the Grammys, with a total of 62 nominations to date. But Sunday night was not a great night for the Lemonade star who will soon be mother of twins.
Nigerian Wizkid, who was named along with Drake for the album View, to contest for Album of the Year, failed to win as the category was won by Adele’s album 25. Farida Demola Seriki who was also nominated in Dance Category did also not make it.
