The Grammy Album of the Year winners by year list hides elite company at the top. Taylor Swift leads with four victories — more than any other artist in the category's 68-year history.

Stevie Wonder, Frank Sinatra, and Paul Simon each won Album of the Year three times. Their decades-spanning runs anchor the Grammy Album of the Year winners by year record books before Swift's 2020s surge.

Frank Sinatra claimed Album of the Year in 1960, 1966, and 1967 — setting a multi-win template on the Grammy Album of the Year winners by year list when the category still favored standards and soundtracks.

Stevie Wonder won in 1974, 1975, and 1977 with Innervisions, Fulfillingness' First Finale, and Songs in the Key of Life. No artist matched that concentration until Taylor Swift on the modern Grammy Album of the Year winners by year chart.

Taylor Swift won with Fearless (2010), 1989 (2016), Folklore (2021), and Midnights (2024). Her four Album of the Year trophies are the defining record on the current Grammy Album of the Year winners by year list.
