2012 Grammy Awards: Full Winner List

Adele was unstoppable and folk rockers Bon Iver plowed ahead of the competition to win best new artist at the 2012 Grammy Awards. Bon Iver also topped off their night with the best alternative album win for Bon Iver.

Adele as expected by most music insiders managed to rule the night, grabbing 6 wins including Record of the Year for her hit song Rolling in the Deep.

Adele also scored best pop solo performance for Someone Like You and best pop vocal for 21.

Three years after his assault of Rihanna occurred on Grammy night Chris Brown was also back in top form, performing at the big event and then turning around to win the years best R&B Album for his hit record F.A.M.E.

The second best night went to the Foo Fighters who walked away with four awards including best rock song, best rock album, top rock performance and the top Hard Rock/Metal Performance for White Limo.

While it may have been a somber night following the 24-hour death of Whitney Houston and an in-memoriam that was marked by a touching cover of I Will Always Love You the night was still about the winners so here’s the full list of winners from the early show and live recording.
