Arcade Fire has captured the album of the year award at the Grammys for The Suburbs, a surprise win that left Eminem shut out in all the top categories.

It was the rockers' only win on the night; they had been nominated for two other awards. Arcade Fire beat out Lady Antebellum's Need You Now, Katy Perry's Teenage Dream, The Fame Monster by Lady Gaga and Eminem's Recovery - 2010's best selling album.

This is now the third time Eminem has lost the best album trophy. He led all nominees with 10 and won two.
