The two biggest winners at this year’s 55th Annual Grammy Awards, which took place on February 10, were Fun and Mumford & Sons. Fun received both the Best New Artist and the Song of the Year awards for “We Are Young.” Mumford & Sons walked away with the coveted Album of the Year award for their album Babel.
The Record of the Year award went to Gotye’s “Somebody that I Used to Know,” and was one of three Grammys awarded to the Australian recording artist.
