• The Rap Field was added to the Grammy Awards in 1989. • Sinéad O'Connor painted the logo of the hip hop group Public Enemy on her head to protest the first-ever Best Rap Performance award being conferred off-screen. • The Best Metal/Hard Rock award was also added this year, and Jethro Tull infamously won the award over the heavily favored Metallica. ==References==
