U2 won five Grammys last night, sweeping every category in which they were nominated. They even won in the coveted Album of the Year category stealing the spotlight from Mariah Carey, Paul McCartney, Gwen Stefani and Kanye West. With these 5, U2 have won a total of 21 Grammys.

They also gave a rather lackluster performance of "Vertigo" and did a duet of "One" with Mary J. Blige. They also performed this song together for a Hurricane benefita benfit and I learned today that a studio version appears on Blige's latest album, The Breakthrough.
