Adele has won her first two Grammy Awards of the day for her album “25". 

She won the best pop vocal album and best pop solo performance grammys.

The superstar English singer is nominated for five awards.

The other three nominations for album of the year, song of the year and record of the year.

Beyonce’s “Formation” is the winner of the Grammy Award for best music video, the music video is the singer’s first win at the Grammy where she is leading artist with nine nominations.

Ziggy Marley also won the Best Reggae Album Grammy for his album “Ziggy Marley” at the 59th Grammys currently underway in Los Angeles, United States.

This is his seventh Grammy in the category, having previously won three from his work as part of The Melody Makers and three from solo projects.

The best music film award went to the Ron Howard film “The Beatles: Eight Days A Week, The Touring Years.”

One of the great country weepers of all time, Dolly Parton's "Jolene," has earned its first Grammy for her performance of the song with vocal group Pentatonix.

The song was originally written by Parton in 1973, but last year Pentatonix teamed with her to rerecord it.

This is Parton's eighth competitive Grammy win.
