There are only 6 weeks left in the eligibility year for the 2020 GRAMMYs! Here are the front-runners, contenders & possibilities for a record of the year nomination:
Last year, you may remember, the Recording Academy expanded the number of nominees in each of the Big Four categories from five to eight.
What does it take for a single or track to be nominated for record of the year? Being a hit isn't a requirement, but it never hurts. This past year, seven of the eight nominees for record of the year were top 10 hits on the Hot 100. The Grammy nomination process is long and complicated. The second and final round of the online entry process opened Tuesday and closes on Aug. 2. In this round, voting members and registered media companies may submit recordings released in July and August.
The voting members of the Academy then pick their favorites. A Nominations Review Committee then selects the final nominees in the Big Four categories from a list of the top 20 vote-getters. The committee strives for genre, gender and racial balance, and above all, for nominations that will reflect well on the Academy.This quirky track is a lock for a nom. The highly touted newcomer turns 18 in Dec. 18, about a month after the noms are announced on Nov. 20.
