5 Things to Know About Michael Jackson's Dangerous Grammy Win

The album won Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical at the 1993 Grammy Awards. This award recognizes the technical production and engineering, not the artist’s performance or songwriting.

The Grammy went to the album’s engineers, not Michael Jackson himself. Bruce Swedien, Teddy Riley, and Dave Way received the award for their work on the album’s sound.

Dangerous was Jackson’s first album to win a Grammy in a technical category. His previous wins were for performance or music video categories.

The award highlights the album’s innovative use of New Jack Swing and digital production. The engineering blended Jackson’s pop vocals with hip-hop and R&B influences.

This win is often overlooked compared to Jackson’s performance Grammys. Fans and critics focus more on his Thriller and Bad era awards.
