LOS ANGELES, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- The 59th Grammy Awards ceremony was held in downtown Los Angeles Staples Center on Sunday, with British songstress Adele dominating the award.

Adele swept the top prizes of song and record of the year for her soaring ballad "Hello" and album of the year for her third album "25."

Adele took home a total of five Grammys, winning in the pre-telecast ceremony for best pop vocal album for "25" and best pop solo performance for "Hello."

Adele set a Grammy history Sunday to be the only artist to win album, record and song of the year twice. In 2017, she won these three big awards with her second album "21."

Adele debuted at Grammy in 2009. At the 51st Grammy Awards in 2009, Adele received the awards for Best New Artist. Up to now, she has 15 Grammy Awards.

Her five wins were quietly matched by late David Bowie, whose album "Blackstar" and its title track, won the best rock song, the best rock performance, the best alternative music album, the best recording package and the best engineered non-classical album.

Bowie died Jan. 10, 2016, at age 69. In his over five decades career, Bowie got 12 Grammy nominations and he only got one award in 1985 before this year.

Beyonce, who had a leading nine nominations heading into this Grammy, wound up winning just two -- the best urban contemporary album for "Lemonade" and the best music video for the song "Formation."
