Background
editFor the 2025 ceremony, the Recording Academy announced several changes for different categories and updates on eligibility rules.[2] No new categories were introduced for the first time in four years.[3]
Category changes
edit- Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical was moved from the Production, Engineering, Composition & Arrangement Field to the Pop & Dance/Electronic Field.
- Best Pop Dance Recording was renamed to Best Dance Pop Recording.
- Best Dance/Electronic Music Album was renamed to Best Dance/Electronic Album. Its category criteria was amended to establish that albums must consist of at least 50% Dance/Electronic recordings to qualify.
- Conjunto music will now be recognized under Best Regional Roots Music Album, instead of Best Música Mexicana Album (Including Tejano).
- Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media was amended to establish a qualification that more than 50% of the music on an otherwise eligible recording must be derived from new episodes or new programming released during the Grammy eligibility year for which it entered.
Criteria amendments
edit- All eligibly-certified featured artists with less than 50% of playing time will be awarded a Winners' Certificate for all genre album categories. This rule does not apply to Best Musical Theater Album or the General Field and Craft categories.
- The annual fee media companies must pay to enter a recording in the online entry process was increased to $180.
- Criteria for Best Traditional R&B Performance was amended to "more accurately represent recordings that embody the classical elements of R&B/soul music, distinguishing them from contemporary interpretations of the genre."
- Criteria for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album was amended to expand the category by "broadening its scope and welcoming more entries from the musical theater community." Its album eligibility criteria was also updated, requiring that albums must contain more than 75% of newly recorded (previously unreleased) performances.
- Criteria for Best Children's Music Album was amended with a requirement for lyrics and English-language translations to be included in entry submissions. An intended audience range was also defined as "infant to 12 years old".
Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical amendments
editSubmission guidelines for Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical were amended with the hopes of allowing a "wider representation of the songwriter community":
- "The minimum submission threshold in which a songwriter is credited as a songwriter or co-writer (not a primary or featured artist or producer) was reduced from five to four songs."
- "The additional number of songs a songwriter may enter in which they are also credited as a primary or featured artist, or any other supporting role, increased from four to five."
Winners and nominees
editFirst round voting will take place from October 4 to October 15, 2024. The nominees are set to be announced on November 8 in a livestream on the official Grammy YouTube channel. Final round voting will then take place from December 12, 2024, to January 3, 2025, ahead of winners being revealed during the Grammy Premiere Ceremony and telecast on February 2.[4][5]
