Roberta Flack was the first artist to win Record of the Year in two consecutive years: in 1973 ("The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face") and 1974 ("Killing Me Softly with His Song"). This happened again when U2 won in 2001 ("Beautiful Day") and 2002 ("Walk On"), the only occurrence of an artist winning the award in two consecutive years with records from the same album. Billie Eilish became the third musician ever, and second woman, to complete the feat: in 2020 ("Bad Guy") and 2021 ("Everything I Wanted").
