9 Grammys Upsets Heard Round the World

Ray Charles won two major Grammys in 2005: album of the year for Genius Loves Company and record of the year for "Here We Go Again." His work bested Green Day's American Idiot, Alicia Keys's The Diary of Alicia Keys, Usher's Confessions, and Kanye West's The College Dropout. Charles had died the previous year, and the wins may have served as more of a nod to his entire career rather than his last album.
