"best" would have been a stretch anyway

[tiagol88]

This literally makes no sense if the other 2 can be nominated 

[Almodusa]

The screening committee can still deem Sabrina ineligible for other reasons but we'll see as we get closer

Sabrina having 5 (FIVE!) albums out and still being eligible  A shitshow

She deserves reparations for Emails being ignored

Best New Artist is always the MESSIEST category and I just do not understand how all these artists with 10 years in the industry are being called new just bc they underperformed all this time.

 

The 2011-2015 ruleset was the best one imo

• No previous albums
• No previous Grammy wins

The above actually means the artist is genuinely "new". Them changing it in 2016 has just led to ridiculous nominations and submissions ever since.

[Aston Martin]

If they're going to be super inconsistent with the rules, they may as well just scrap the category and replace it with an Artist of the Year award.

It is also necessary to prescribe a clear criterion: as soon as an artist enters the top 10 of the Billboard, he is considered quite "new" to the industry.

Such nonsense.

Because her team have already submit her 3 times. 

 

Sabrina is lucky she's only been twice. 

[Trent W]

They should honestly just delete that category or renamed to best new breakthrough act

 

Cause it's just embarrassing 

 

Even if chappell or sabrina win it would be embarrassing for them since they've been around for a long time

[UnusualBoy]

That's bullshit, I don't think she was gonna win either way but you know what I mean.

Between this and then Greedy not being eligible bc they released a day before eligibility period is pure label mismanagement. 

[Richie.Valdez]

A certain someone is already writing those checks to the grammys for her "daughter". 

[Gwendolyn]

They need to change the rules again, it makes 0 sense that artists who have been in the industry for years and have released music get a BNA nomination.

That was made up by a fan. It was eligible and simply didn't get enough votes.

[kellebrity98]

Okay, so you have to release an album to be eligible for the category. Tate's debut was released in 2022, in 2023 she released her second album. So she couldn't get a nomination before 2022… she's at 2 max.

They mean it is not eligible for next year's Grammys

[Shimenawa]

I feel like they really need to work on BNA rules, it's so random

[Shimenawa]

Tate should get best new dancer and that's it

[KatyPrismSpirit]

I think it's very odd that Anitta got in BNA in 2023 despite Versions of Me being her 6th full length album and debuting in like 2009-2010? Same goes with Victoria Monét who also dropped 6 projects prior to Jaguar II and debuting in like 2013? (and her breakthrough moment was like 1/10th of the success Sabrina has now)
