I like this requirement  It's about time songwriters get their due credit.

Don't particularly care for the new categories  

 

Also interesting that they announced this. Probably in light of the surge of artists re-recording their catalogues (Taylor, Jojo, Ashanti, etc.)

pretty doubtful. it's more people who rerelease and submit it as a new album.

 

for example: black pumas. june 2019 album, nominated aoty for 2021 grammys because a "rerelease" doubling the tracklisting

Quote

As previously announced last year, starting with the upcoming 65th Grammy Awards, albums eligible for Grammy consideration must now include 75 percent new material rather than the 50 percent requirement that was previously in place.

It's not for artists who are re-recording. It's for those who submits standard edition of their albums one year and deluxe version next year. Black Pumas AOTY nomination in 2020 was because of this.

Well given that it’s for songs written for others, similar to POTY, I like it interesting that a score category was created just for video games, though I know they often get overlooked in the visual medial field. The social change one  

The Americana Performance doesn’t make sense since it’s already covered by American Roots Performance dd

Oh, that's interesting. Besides the Black Pumas album, I can't think of any artist who has done this. I wonder why introduce the 'rule' at all if no one is exploiting loopholes in the eligiblity criteria for deluxe albums anyway?

Stooping to VMA-levels of cringe 

This has ALWAYS been a thing. There are tons of songs that have helped change history and laws, not to mention social interactions in the U.S. between races.

 

Rhythm Nation

We Will Rock You

Circle Of Life

This Is America

**** The Police!

Michael Jackson. 

If this rule had been in place in 1995, Michael Jackson’s HIStory: Past, Present and Future — Book I, which was half new and half old recordings, would not have been eligible for the album of the year nod it received.

Well, looks like 30 might win a major category after all

Because artists like Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa keeps re-releasing their albums by adding multiple new songs or stealing other artist's songs.  ( Complete edition, Moonlight edition, tour edition).

The category exclude songwriters who also producing the tracks so Max Martin can only be nominated if he involve his works on songwriting alone but not producing tracks at the same time.

[fridayteenage]

kid laroi rereleased 3 times.

originally 7/2020

then 11/2020

then 7/2021

then to boost the numbers a bit, slightly later in 7/2021.

 

so he wouldn't have been eligible as a 'new' album.
