HOME Wednesday, February 08, 2006 U2 Goes 5 for 5 at the Grammy's! Wow!  In an evening that had Mariah Carey and Kanye West written all over it, and for good reason, the big Irish band U2 swept up every category they were nominated for, going five for five, including the biggest awards of the evening for Song of the Year ("Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own") and Album of the Year, How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.  Other wins came in the category of Rock Album of the Year, Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, and Best Rock Song ("City of Blinding Lights"). U2 is the sixth most successful Grammy winning act, with 22 awards. Congratulations U2!
