Santana Sweeps Grammy Awards, But J.Lo's Dress Steals The Show
2000
Santana wins eight Grammy Awards for their star-studded, chart-topping album Supernatural, tying Michael Jackson's record for the most awards won in a single night.
The 42nd Annual Grammy Awards are remembered for two things: Jennifer Lopez 's sexy green Versace dress and Santana's near-record breaking string of wins for Supernatural, the band's first record to top the Billboard 200 albums chart in 28 years. The album welcomed genre-spanning guest performers – like Rob Thomas, Everlast, Eric Clapton, and Lauryn Hill - leading to nominations and wins across several categories. While Santana wins eight awards, Supernatural wins a total of nine (the ninth going to "Smooth" songwriters Rob Thomas and Itaal Shur):
• Album of the Year
• Rock Album of the Year
• Record of the Year for "Smooth" (feat. Rob Thomas)
• Song of the Year for "Smooth"
• Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for "Smooth"
• Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Maria Maria"
• Best Pop Instrumental Performance for "El Farol"
• Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal for "Put Your Lights On" (feat. Everlast)
• Best Rock Instrumental Performance for "The Calling " (feat. Eric Clapton)
Frontman Carlos Santana takes the stage with Rob Thomas to perform their #1 smash hit "Smooth." But while Supernatural does cast a spell over the event, there are a few highlights from other performers. Nineteen-year-old Christina Aguilera wins Best New Artist, making her the second youngest performer to win a Grammy. Sarah McLachlan lands Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the tearjerker "I Will Remember You," and Sting takes home Best Pop Vocal Album for Brand New Day, along with Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for the title track.
