Paramore Make History With First of Its Kind Win at 2024 Grammys

Paramore are the first band fronted by a woman to win the Best Rock Album category at the Grammy Awards.

The group earned two victories at the 2024 Grammy Awards. The first was for Best Rock Album for their 2023 effort This Is Why while the album's title track picked up the Best Alternative Music Performance trophy.

Singer Hayley Williams is also the first woman to win Best Rock Album since 1999, when Sheryl Crow won for The Globe Sessions.

For the Best Rock Album Grammy, Paramore beat out the latest records by Metallica, Foo Fighters, Greta Van Fleet and Queens of the Stone Age. Greta Van Fleet won in 2019, while the Foos notched victories in 2001, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2022.

Metallica did, however, win Best Metal Performance this year for the title track to last year's 72 Seasons album.
