CATEGORIES AND FIELDS WITH CHANGES Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media: Some language in the criteria for this category (including film, TV, video games and other visual media) that had been removed has now been restored to recognize principal artists and in-studio producers. Best Remixed Recording: The newly amended definition helps to reflect the remix craft as it currently stands in the industry: the creation of a new, full-track, unique performance created by a remixer from a previously released recording. New Age, Ambient or Chant Field: The category formerly known as Best New Age Album has been renamed Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album and the field name has also been updated to reflect that change. Best Musical Theater Album: The category definition has been updated to award composers and lyricists of more than 50% of the score of a new recording. Spoken Word Field: The category formally known as Spoken Word Album has been renamed Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording. This category recognizes excellence in spoken-word albums (not including Spoken Word Poetry). Classical Field: Three categories will now be determined by Craft Committees: Producer of the Year (Classical), Best Engineered Album (Classical) and Best Contemporary Classical Composition. https://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=331805&title=GRAMMYS-ADD-SONGWRITER-OF-THE-YEAR-OTHER-AWARDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squall Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 It's quite stupid not to include the songwriting of their own songs It's more like "Songwriter [for others] of the year" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video games one is the only one that makes sense imo Yeah they were always eligible there but never stood a chance against film and TV music so it’s nice they’ll get guaranteed exposure. I think the new alternative category was also needed since artists would send their songs to the rock field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridayteenage Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 vma's equivalent category for social change was: Billie Eilish – "Your Power" Demi Lovato – "Dancing with the Devil" H.E.R. – "Fight for You" Kane Brown – "Worldwide Beautiful" Lil Nas X – "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" Pharrell Williams (featuring Jay-Z) – "Entrepreneur" so it could have been billie v. her.

Also was that really much of a drag? Id brag about writing my songs too. Speaking of bragging i got a 3 dollar raise today at work and im over the moon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
