The Grammys are stupid.

Still seems strange to me to have a “Record of the year” and a “Song of the year”.

Also, hasn’t Khruangbin been around for close to a decade?

This has always bothered be so I finally decided to look it up. Seems like there is a VERRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY low bar to qualify as a "new" artist at the grammy's.

To be eligible in the category of Best New Artist, the artist, duo, or group:

• Must have released a minimum of five singles/tracks or one album (until 2020 there was a maximum of 30 singles/tracks or three albums, but this maximum limit was removed for the 2021 awards season)
• May not have entered into this category more than three times, including as a performing member of an established group.
• Must have achieved a breakthrough into the public consciousness and impacted the musical landscape during the eligibility period.

So, ultimately,

The Grammys are stupid.

Thanks for the info. I anticipated that it would be based on more objective criteria than that to be honest.

That being said I do enjoy watching the Grammys if only for the musical performances, which are often very impressive. It is certainly the most entertaining of all the big award shows in my opinion.
