The Academy has opened up its Album of the Year category.
In an attempt to increase its diversity efforts.
Set to go into immediate effect for the 64th GRAMMY Awards.
The night’s big winners include Thundercat, Megan Thee Stallion and Nas.
The statement follows the snub of ‘After Hours’ in this year’s nominations and discussion about the awards’ lack of transparency.
Receiving a whopping 80 nods each.
After the Recording Academy CEO explained why ‘After Hours’ received no nominations.
Beyoncé tops the list with a total of nine nominations followed by Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift and Roddy Ricch, who each earned six nominations.
Now called Best Global Music Album.
After public statements from Tyler, The Creator, Billie Eilish and Republic Records.
Twigs instead danced alongside Usher and Sheila E. after she “wasn’t asked” to sing.
“Half of me feels like the rap nomination was a backhanded compliment.”
