The Hawaiian native previously won Album Of The Year for his role as a producer on Adele's 25, which took the honor at the 59th GRAMMY Awards. 

His Album Of The Year win was part of an amazing night for Mars, which saw him sweep all of the categories for which he was nominated, including Record and Song Of The Year. 24K Magic also took home Best R&B Album honors.

"Wow, all right first off, to the other nominees in this category ... you guys are the reason why I'm in the studio pulling my hair out, man, because I know you guys are only going to come with the top-shelf artistry and music," said Mars during his acceptance. "Thank you, you guys, for blessing the world with your music. I mean that."

The other nominees were Jay-Z's 4:44, Lorde's Melodrama, Kendrick Lamar's DAMN., and Childish Gambino's "Awaken, My Love!"

Recent Album Of The Year winners include Adele's 25, Taylor Swift's 1989, Beck's Morning Phase, Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, and Mumford & Sons' Babel.

Arguably the biggest name at the 60th edition of Music's Biggest Night? Bruno Mars.

Watch: Bruno Mars Wins Record Of The Year

He won Record Of The Year for "24K Magic" at the 60th GRAMMY Awards before quickly picking up additional GRAMMYs for Song Of The Year ("That's What I Like") and Album Of The Year (24K Magic). The other nominees for Record Of The Year were Childish Gambino's "Redbone," Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber, Jay-Z's "The Story Of O.J.," and Kendrick Lamar's "HUMBLE."

Add to that Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song ("That's What I Like") and Best R&B Album, and the Hawaiian R&B singer/songwriter swept up as the big winner of the evening. He also lit up the stage with a colorful performance of "Finesse" with fellow GRAMMY nominee Cardi B.

His Record Of The Year win marks a year of accomplishment for the catchy track "24K Magic," the title track from his GRAMMY-winning album, which heated up the charts. But Mars isn't just a hit maker, he has something special that keeps him coming out on top.

"For us, it was more how effortless it was creating with him," longtime Mars producer Ray Romulus of the Stereotypes told Billboard. "It didn’t feel like we were actually working and making songs, it just felt like we were hanging out, having conversations, and as we're doing that we're making the beats. ... He would literally have a new idea for something every second, he would just be spilling out ideas."

"Talk about somebody who really just knows how to write a song," added the Stereotypes' Jonathan Yip. "And a hit song, at that."
