Did you know that Chris Brown won his first and only Grammy Award to date at the 2012 Grammy Awards?
Prior to 2012, Brown had been nominated for eight Grammys, including Best New Artist, but failed to nab a single title. However, the 22-year old finally collected his first award – Best R&B Album for his ‘F.A.M.E.’ LP – at this year’s ceremony from three nods. That accomplishment has brought Brown’s career Grammy ratio to one win from 11 nominations.
Ironically, Brown’s win was cheered by Diana Ross who was among the Grammy audience. The diva was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the event but has yet to win a competitive Grammy of her own.
