Changes

In June 2016, the Grammy organization announced a few minor changes to the voting and awarding process. As of 2017, recordings released solely through streaming services will be eligible to enter the award process. These recordings will have to be available through streaming platforms. Applicable streaming services are paid subscription, full catalog, on-demand streaming/limited download platforms that have existed as such within the United States for at least one full year as of the submission deadline. All recordings entered must have an assigned International Standard Recording Code (ISRC).


Best New Artist guidelines

Existing Best New Artist rules were amended to remove the album barrier given current trends in how new music and developing artists are released and promoted. Currently many new artists first release singles, tracks, or EPs rather than full albums. To become 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, but no more than 30 singles/tracks or three albums. * May not have entered the 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.


Blues categories

The Best Blues Album category will branch into two distinct categories: * Best Traditional Blues Album (Blues recordings with traditional blues song and harmonic structures, including various subgenres such as Delta blues, Piedmont blues, jump/swing blues, Chicago blues, and classic/Southern soul). * Best Contemporary Blues Album (Recordings which may employ non-traditional blues rhythms such as funk, hip-hop, reggae, and rock, or which feature contemporary techniques such as synthesizers or Loop (music), loops). It means a return to the situation prior to 2012, the year the categories were merged in a major overhaul.


Best Rap/Sung Collaboration category renamed

The Best Rap/Sung Collaboration category (in the Rap field) will be renamed as Best Rap/Sung Performance, to allow solo performances, a result of "the current state and future trajectory of rap by expanding the category beyond collaborations between rappers and vocalists to include recordings by a solo artist who blurs the lines between rapping and singing." Additional amendments were made to the number and type of music creators recognized in the categories of Best Choral Performance and Best jazz vocal album, Best Jazz Vocal Album.
