The Recording Academy revealed Tuesday that it has expanded the number of nominations for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist, from five nominees to eight, Variety reports. The changes will be implemented right away, with the next Grammy Awards in 2019.
The announcement was sent to Academy members this morning, which said of the expansion, “This change will better reflect the large number of entries in these categories and allow voters greater flexibility when selecting this year’s best recordings.” These are the biggest changes the Grammys has implemented since the award show was introduced in 1959.

Nipsey Hussle better win Rap album of the year no one has dropped a cohesive peice of work like Victory Lap in over a decade I my mind no one else is even close everyone else just has separate songs together on a album
The Grammys are interesting no more. We all know that the biggest stars get the top prizes. I would be a miracle if an underdog would take the top prizes.
The only award show I care about is melon’s list week
BTS is coming
I stop watching the Vma's, BET awards, Grammys and other award show. Super irrelevant. I much prefer watching youtube.
Much love to all of my fellow Youtubers. =)

This is trash, they need to SEPARATE the damn hip hop categories into at least 4. Period.
I feel like if they are going to do that then they should have a runner up award so that was at least two people can shine
Frazier I'm pretty sure all your favorite albums have been nominated. You clearly only like albums with hype around it.
Grammys are just a popularity contest atm. They don’t really mean shit, and it will never mean shit again, untill the people get to vote. In an optimal World 1-800 (a song who has data, which prove the song saves lives) wins song of the yeah over a song about getting a BJ. Artist only care because It’s nostalgic
Good move by them, less whining and more recognition
Every time I see Frazier I think of Arthur.
Only white ppl care about this shit
Who cares it still gonna be 1 winner
Grammy’s taking an L for adding more nominees because “diversity”… In the name of political correctness
Stop airing the country categories
FUCK THE GRAMMYS, ever since Macklemore’s The Heist beat Kendrick Lamar’s Good Kid M.A.A.D. City! 😤
2% of the population watch or even care about these gay award shows.
Great, more awful rappers/bands get a useless award.
No one cares about the grammys anymore
No trap please
They gon have to increase the nominees for Best Rap Album cos 2018 has seen way too many fire albums for only five nominations
Because diversity is better than talent ..
Death to exclusivity. Everyone should get a trophy …
No wonder musics shit ..
The Grammy’s aren’t even credible no more or as elite like the once were…. they gave the awards to the most popular artist and not actually too the artist with talent. It’s actually really annoying it’s not about the art and people creativity no more it’s about how many album sales which does not correlate with talent in my opinion.
Did anybody else here about the boy that got butchered, they are shutting down the store because no one helped him yay.
I just want to see the best people from every genre nominated and the best album not the most popular artist the best albums and single
This don't mean nothing the same people still going to win plus music went down hill anyway music is not selling streaming is sad music is trash
First
