Billie Eilish, 18, sweeps all four top awards at Grammys

Pop singer Billie Eilish became the second person in history to sweep all four top awards at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards, during a ceremony at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the U.S., on Sunday.

She won a total of five on six nominations, winning both Record and Song of the Year for "Bad Guy," which made her the first artist born in the 2000s to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Her debut "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" earned the Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. Honored Best New Artist, the 18-year-old is the youngest artist to win Album of the Year.

She shared her success with her older brother Finneas O'Connell, her primary creative collaborator.

"We just make music in a bedroom together," said O'Connell. "We still do that and they let us do that. (...) This is to all of the kids making music in your bedrooms today – you're going to get one of these." O'Connell also won Producer of The Year and Best Engineered Album.

Lizzo, who was nominated the most in November, including all four top awards out of eight categories, eventually won three lesser awards with "Truth Hurts" taking Best Pop Solo Performance, "Jerome" taking Best Traditional R&B Performance and the deluxe version of her album "Cuz I Love You" securing Best Urban Contemporary Album.

Another top contender Lil Nas X, who got six nominations, won the awards of Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Best Music Video for the hit track "Old Town Road" with Billy Ray Cyrus.
