The Cure have won Best Alternative Music Album for Songs of a Lost World at the 2026 Grammys. They beat out the category’s other nominees Bon Iver (SABLE, fABLE), Hayley Williams (Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party), Tyler, the Creator (Don’t Tap the Glass), and Wet Leg (Moisturizer).

The Cure have been nominated exclusively in Best Alternative Music Album until this year, when they received an additional nod—and win—for Best Alternative Music Performance. Both category wins are the band’s first ever Grammys.

In 2025, St. Vincent won the Best Alternative Music Album Grammy Award for All Born Screaming. During her acceptance speech, Annie Clark thanked her collaborators and family—revealing that she’s both happily married and a mother, now raising a daughter—and waxed poetic about how wild it is to create an album at all.
