Grammy Winners 2013: The Full List (2024)

Grammy Award: Nobody took home more than four this year.

The 55th annual Grammys are over, and unlike last year, a wide range of artists is heading home with hardware.

Adele stole the show in 2012, winning all six awards for which she was nominated. In 2013, Dan Auerbach and the Black Keys were the biggest winners, taking home four trophies. Skrillex claimed three, as did Gotye, Jay-Z and Kanye West.

Mumford & Sons won just two Grammys, but scored the biggest one of the night: Best Album for Babel. The group's latest effort was also a major commercial success, moving 1.4 million copies in 2012, which made it the No. 4 best-selling album of the year.

"We had no idea about winning," said lead singer Marcus Mumford to a group of reporters assembled at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. "So we didn’t write anything down."

Plenty of top artists took home only one or two awards, spread across 81 categories. Among them: Fun., Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney and a host of others.
