Considered to be the most prestigious Grammy Award, "Album of the Year" goes to, as it states, the best album of five nominees. The trophy is given to the artist, the producer and the engineer.
Unlike "Record of the Year," which is awarded to the artist, producer and engineer of a single track, "Album of the Year" is for the entire collection of tracks from where the single is taken from.
At the 2008 Grammy ceremony, Herbie Hancock won the award for River: The Joni Letters.
