How well do the winners at the Grammy Awards align with Billboard chart success? Perhaps not surprisingly, very closely — especially when it comes to trophy recipients reaching the top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart and the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

Billboard looks at the crossroads of Recording Academy and commercial success in two of the most prominent Grammy categories — album of the year and record of the year — over the last 68 years, from the first awards presented in 1959, a year after the Hot 100 launched and three years after the Billboard 200 began — through music’s latest biggest night in 2026.
Album of the Year Winners on the Billboard 200
Of the 68 album of the year winners, 65 — or 96% — have hit the Billboard 200’s top 10 (two of which did so for the first time following their Grammy victories). Four leaders in a row have hit not only the top 10 but No. 1: Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos, the 2026 winner, led for four weeks, following Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter (two), Taylor Swift’s Midnights (six) and Harry Styles’ Harry’s House (two).
Four years ago, Jon Batiste’s victory with We Are contrasted that sharp trend, and halted a run of 26 top 10s winning consecutively since 1996 — the longest streak all-time. Still, We Are surged back onto the April 16, 2022-dated Billboard 200 at a new No. 25 high; it previously spent a week on the survey, at No. 86, in April 2021. The two previous winning sets not to have hit the top 10: Tony Bennett’s MTV Unplugged, which rose to No. 48 after its 1995 win (after it had reached No. 69 before that year’s ceremony), and Glen Campbell’s By the Time I Get to Phoenix, which reached its No. 15 peak ahead of its win in 1969.
Historically, 69% of all winners (47 of 68) have led the list.

Of the 68 record of the year winners, 57 — or 84% — have hit the Hot 100’s top 10 (one of which did so for the first time following its Grammy coronation). Kendrick Lamar’s “Luther” continues that trend, as 17 winners in a row since 2010 have reached the top 10, the second-longest streak, after a 23-year run in 1965-87.
Historically, 56% of all winners (38 of 68) have topped the tally, with “Luther” likewise upping that share (a year after his No. 1 “Not Like Us” won Grammy gold, making him the first male soloist with back-to-back trophies in the category). “Luther” is the third-longest leading Hot 100 hit to claim record of the year, with its 13-week command a week shy of the reigns of 2016 winner “Uptown Funk!” by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars and 1994 recipient “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston.
Here’s a rundown of how all record of the year Grammy Award winners have fared on the Hot 100. (Record of the year is awarded to artist/producer[s], recording engineer[s] and/or mixer[s] and mastering engineer[s], if other than artist.)
