(The GRAMMY Insider keeps you up to date about news on your favorite GRAMMY winners, including new album releases, tour updates, notable TV appearances, interviews, and more.)

Awards/Lists
Taylor Swift was the big winner at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards on May 19 in Las Vegas. The seven-time GRAMMY winner took home eight awards, including Top Artist, Top Digital Songs Artist, Top Female Artist, and Top Billboard 200 Album for Red. Other GRAMMY winners receiving awards included Fun., Gotye and Kimbra, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Rihanna, and Skrillex. … Public Policy Polling has taken a survey of who Americans love (and hate), with plenty of GRAMMY winners appearing on the favorable side, including Adele, Beyoncé, Swift, and Justin Timberlake. Those falling on the unfortunate side of the spectrum included Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna. … Nominations for the annual BET Awards '13, taking place June 30, were announced with Drake leading the field with 12 nominations. … Adam Levine was honored with the President's Award at the 61st Annual BMI Pop Awards on May 14 in Los Angeles.

Music And Film/TV
Kanye West was the musical guest on "Saturday Night Live" on May 18, debuting "Black Skinheads" and "New Slaves" from his forthcoming new album. During the former performance, the 21-time GRAMMY winner angrily rapped against an abstract projected backdrop, which featured stark black-and-white images, vintage price tags and a message that read "Not for sale." According to an Instagram post by his main squeeze Kim Kardashian, West's new album will be titled Yeezus and will be released June 18. … Cee Lo Green will appear in "The Cee Lo Life," an unscripted series expected to premiere in 2014 that will follow Green as he prepares to bring Goodie Mob back to the stage with Big Gipp, Khujo and T-Mo. … Rihanna's design competition reality series "Styled To Rock" will premiere this fall and feature Pharrell Williams as one of three contestant mentors.

Lifestyle
Following comments from Beyoncé that surfaced last week wherein the singer said her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, "needs some company," sources have revealed that Beyoncé and Jay-Z are expecting baby number two. However, hubby Jay-Z has said the rumors are not true in a reply to a congratulatory email he received from New York radio station Hot 97. If they are pregnant, here's hoping the couple has set aside some savings for cravings. While in Dublin early last week, Beyoncé spent an estimated $1,200 on spicy takeout food.

Academics
Dr. Dre and producer Jimmy Iovine have donated $70 million to the University of Southern California for a new Academy of Arts, Technology and the Business of Innovation. … Willie Nelson has been named an honorary doctor of music by Boston's Berklee College of Music, along with Carole King and Annie Lennox.

On The Road
Sunset Strip veterans Linkin Park are set to headline the annual Sunset Strip Music Festival, which takes place Aug. 1–3 in West Hollywood, Calif. In related news, Linkin Park's Chester Bennington made an unexpected appearance as the frontman for Stone Temple Pilots on May 18 at the KROQ-FM Weenie Roast. The group, who recently parted ways with Scott Weiland, debuted a new song with Bennington, "Out Of Time," which is available for free download. Bennington will be honored with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award at the annual MusiCares MAP Fund benefit concert on May 30.

Charts, Sales And New Music
Lady Antebellum
's Golden debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking their third chart-topping release. … Natalie Maines' first solo album, Mother, debuted at No. 17. … Daft Punk's new album, Random Access Memories, is expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with sales of up to 300,000 copies following its release on May 21, according to Billboard.biz. … Also on May 21, Darius Rucker will release his third country album, True Believers. … John Fogerty will celebrate the release of his new album, Wrote A Song For Everyone, and his birthday with a special concert in Los Angeles on May 28. … Rumor has it Lady Gaga gave fans a taste of her forthcoming new album, Artpop, during the launch party for Versace Versus on May 14 in New York.

Viral
A cover of David Bowie's classic "Space Oddity," recorded by Commander Chris Hadfield onboard the International Space Station, has gone viral with more than 14 million YouTube views. Hadfield's vocals and guitar were recorded on the space station (and mixed with supporting tracks by Emm Gryner, a Canadian musician who once sang backup for Bowie), leading some observers to call it the first music video made in space.

Real Estate
Looking for some new digs? The former home of Metallica's James Hetfield — a four-bedroom estate in Novato, Calif., — has been placed on the market for a reported $3.4 million. … After reportedly dropping more than $17 million on a waterfront mansion in Watch Hill, R.I., Taylor Swift received an unwelcome visitor on the morning of May 14. According to police, 22-year-old Lucas H. Borsteveld was caught and cited for trespassing. 

#thebeatles 
In a recent interview on BBC Radio 4, Yoko Ono thanked Paul McCartney for squashing longtime rumors that Ono broke up the Beatles last October. Ono also touched on the difficulty of being a Beatles wife. "I think it's more difficult than being a politician's wife, because it's endless," she said.

Amy Winehouse picks up Record and Song Of The Year, and Best New Artist honors as the GRAMMYs turn 50

Music's Biggest Night, the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards, will air live from Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

In the weeks leading up to the telecast, we will take a stroll down music memory lane with GRAMMY Rewind, highlighting the "big four" categories — Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Best New Artist — from past awards shows. In the process, we'll examine the winners and the nominees who just missed taking home a GRAMMY, while also shining a light on the artists' careers and the eras in which the recordings were born.

Join us as we take an abbreviated journey through the trajectory of pop music from the 1st Annual GRAMMY Awards in 1959 to last year's 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards. Today, the GRAMMY Awards celebrates a golden milestone.


50th Annual GRAMMY Awards
Feb. 10, 2008

Album Of The Year
Winner: Herbie Hancock, River: The Joni Letters
Foo Fighters, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace
Vince Gill, These Days
Kanye West, Graduation
Amy Winehouse, Back To Black

For his intriguing album of instrumental and vocal interpretations of the music of Joni Mitchell, Hancock assembled an all-star cast, including Leonard Cohen, Mitchell herself, Norah Jones and Corinne Bailey Rae (both have said they drew inspiration from Mitchell), and Tina Turner. The album peaked in the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 and also won for Best Contemporary Jazz Album. The Foo Fighters picked up a nomination for their sixth studio album, which earned them their third Best Rock Album following 2000's There Is Nothing Left To Lose and 2003's One By One. Gill, the only country artist to make the cut and the finalist with the most GRAMMYs to date with an impressive 20, received a nomination for the thematically arranged 43-song, four-disc set. The album picked up Best Country Album honors this year. West's third studio release topped the Billboard 200 in 2007, earning him two wins for Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song for the Top 10 hit "Good Life." Winehouse's breakthrough album Back To Black, with the help of GRAMMY-winning producer Mark Ronson, nearly propelled the late British songstress to a sweep of the "big four" categories. Winehouse won an impressive five awards as the GRAMMYs celebrated its milestone 50th birthday. She died at 27 in July 2011.

Record Of The Year
Winner: Amy Winehouse, "Rehab"
Beyoncé, "Irreplaceable"
Foo Fighters, "The Pretender"
Rihanna Featuring Jay-Z, "Umbrella"
Justin Timberlake, "What Goes Around…Comes Around"

London-native Winehouse won the Record Of The Year category with the resistant "Rehab." The track also earned her Best Female Pop Vocal Performance honors. Beyoncé, who performed a memorable duet with soul legend Tina Turner on the telecast, didn't make the cut here with this No. 1 single but would win big two years later. The Foo Fighters earned their first Record Of The Year nomination and a Best Hard Rock Performance win for the driving "The Pretender." Rihanna's infectious No. 1 hit "Umbrella," her third Top 10 single off 2007's Good Girl Gone Bad, features the dance-pop star collaborating with GRAMMY winner Jay-Z. The track also won the pair a GRAMMY for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration. Timberlake's No. 1 single "What Goes Around Comes Around" earned him the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance GRAMMY. Timberlake showcased his range in also picking up the Best Dance Recording GRAMMY for "LoveStoned/I Think She Knows." Both tracks appear on his GRAMMY-nominated Album Of The Year, FutureSex/LoveSounds.

Song Of The Year
Winner: Amy Winehouse, "Rehab"
Corinne Bailey Rae, "Like A Star"
Rihanna Featuring Jay-Z, "Umbrella"
Plain White T's, "Hey There Delilah"
Carrie Underwood, "Before He Cheats"

Winehouse picked up another win for Song Of The Year with the self-penned "Rehab." The singer performed the platinum-selling song via satellite from London on the GRAMMY telecast. Fellow neo-soul songstress and England-native Rae, whose participation on Hancock's River: The Joni Letters earned her an Album Of The Year win, received a nomination for the self-penned "Like A Star," marking her second Song Of The Year nomination off her self-titled debut album. (She earned both Record and Song Of The Year nominations the previous year for "Put Your Records On.") Rihanna's collaboration with Jay-Z (who also co-wrote the song) earned a nomination with the help of songwriters Thaddis "Kuk" Harrell, Terius "The Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. The trio also helped craft Beyoncé's three-time GRAMMY-winning "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" two years later. Chicago-based pop/punk outfit Plain White T's made a bold GRAMMY debut with a Song Of The Year nod for their viral No. 1 hit "Hey There Delilah," written by frontman Tom Higgenson. The only country artist to make the cut in this category, Underwood received a nod and a win in the Best Female Country Vocal Performance category for "Before He Cheats," which was crafted by songwriters Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins. Underwood received her first GRAMMY Award the previous year for Best New Artist.

Best New Artist
Winner: Amy Winehouse
Feist
Ledisi
Paramore
Taylor Swift

Winehouse topped off her impressive GRAMMY debut by taking home Best New Artist honors. Nova Scotia-born singer/songwriter Feist added to the geographically diverse field, earning a total of four nominations during her own GRAMMY debut, including Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her Top 10 hit "1234." New Orleans-native R&B singer Ledisi earned two nods, including Best R&B Album for Lost & Found. She went on to receive a nomination in the same category two years later for Turn Me Loose. Hailing from Franklin, Tenn., Paramore, fronted by singer/songwriter Hayley Williams, released their debut album, All We Know Is Falling, in 2005 before the singer turned 18. Swift has since gone on to win four GRAMMY Awards and would set an Album Of The Year record at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards as the youngest winner ever in that category.
