How this list was compiled: Every album is on the list for a fact that can be looked up, not for a critic's opinion and not from any magazine's ranking. The facts were read on 2026-09-18 from these English Wikipedia pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Album_of_the_Year (winners and nominees), the winners tables of 20 Grammy album categories (rock, rap, alternative, country, R&B, pop vocal, dance or electronic, reggae, Latin pop, traditional pop, Americana, folk, contemporary blues, musica urbana, progressive R&B, bluegrass, gospel, global music, jazz vocal and jazz instrumental; each at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Rock_Album and the matching page names), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brit_Award_for_British_Album_of_the_Year , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_Prize , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juno_Award_for_Album_of_the_Year , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARIA_Award_for_Album_of_the_Year , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Grammy_Award_for_Album_of_the_Year , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums_in_the_United_States (albums the RIAA has certified ten times platinum or more, printed here as RIAA diamond), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums_in_the_United_Kingdom and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums . The diamond threshold of ten million units, the 1999 start of the award and the rule that each disc of a set counts as a unit are from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIAA_certification , checked 2026-09-18. Rules: the artist, the release year and the genre come from the infobox of each album's own article, read through the Wikipedia API on 2026-09-18, and the genre printed is the first one the article lists; the year after an award is the year of the ceremony, which is usually the year after release; Grammy genre awards are described in plain lower-case words because the official category names changed many times (the country award became Best Contemporary Country Album at the 2026 ceremony, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Contemporary_Country_Album , and is printed that way for 2026); no sales figure or platinum multiple is printed because those move. Where the list page and the album article disagreed on a year, the article was read by hand and the album was cut if the doubt stayed. This is a selection, and not every winner of these awards is listed. Left out on purpose: titles with swearing or drug and drink words, EPs, mixtapes, remix albums and box sets, awards that went to a song rather than an album, the Brit awards of 1977, 1983 and 1984 (given on sales or as a one-off), albums whose article names no genre, and anything past five albums under one artist credit (the five with the strongest facts stay). The cap is counted per credit line: the 17 soundtracks, cast recordings and tribute albums credited to various artists are not capped, and a musician credited under several line-ups can appear more often, as Chick Corea does on 12 albums and Tony Bennett on 10. Text only: no cover art. 1,052 albums on the check date. Review interval: every 12 months, after the Grammy and Brit ceremonies. Licence: own work
