Awards that are unrestricted by genre

The Big Four comprise:

Album of the Year is awarded to the performer, songwriter(s), and the production team of a full album.
Record of the Year is awarded to the performer and the production team of a single song.
Song of the Year is awarded to the songwriter(s) of a single song.
