Are they thinking about releasing a MP3 downloadable version? This was the one CD I would still buy every year and I hate to see this tradition end

If bts is not nominated, that would be so narrow minded.

Makes sense! The audience for the nominees does not buy CDs. They download or stream for free until they are old enough to get a job and buy the music....

Those you included in your video make the Grammys a meaningless popularity contest. The Grammys should be like the Oscars & keep their awards focused on artistry & NOT popularity/sales. Hell if the Oscars did that Marvel would win everything every year, making it pointless too.

bts trash has the most mediocre music ever.

The Grammys are the one place in music we have left where numbers are meaningless & it should remain that way. The Grammys are about artistry. So, they should include at least one indie & one country & one blues album. They are without a doubt the three best storytelling genres.
