Chapman won best new artist at the 1989 Grammys, with her eponymous debut album -- which included "Fast Car" -- taking home best contemporary folk album and scoring a nomination for album of the year. "Fast Car" itself also won Chapman best female pop vocal performance that year and was also notably up for record of the year and song of the year.
