The addition of these new categories was approved during the Recording Academy’s semiannual Board of Trustees meeting in May 2023.
This decision reflects the Academy’s commitment to actively listening to and addressing feedback from the music community.
By accurately representing a diverse range of relevant musical genres, the Recording Academy aims to stay in tune with the ever-evolving musical landscape.
