Song of the year Grammy goes to 'That's What I Like,' yet another win for Bruno Mars and Co.

It's turning into a Bruno Mars kind of evening _ unless Kendrick Lamar has anything to say about it. In the song of the year category, the Mars single "That's What I Like" took down the mighty "Despacito," which ruled the charts across 2017, and furthered Jay-Z's losing streak.

Jay-Z was nominated for "The Story of O.J.," one of his night-leading eight nominations, but once again came up short. Also on the losing end were Julia Michaels' "Issues" and "1-800-273-8255," by Logic with Alessia Cara and Khalid.

"That's What I Like" was written by Christopher Brody Brown, James Fauntleroy, Philip Lawrence, Mars, Ray Charles McCullough II, Jeremy Reeves, Ray Romulus and Jonathan Yip.

That win is Mars' fourth Grammy of the day, and he's undefeated. It's his sixth Grammy overall. He's been nominated 27 times.
