Grammy nominations are selections made by the Recording Academy to recognize outstanding achievements in the music industry. Each year, artists, producers, and songwriters are nominated in various categories, such as Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist. These nominations highlight the most popular and critically acclaimed music released during the eligibility period. The nomination process involves voting members of the Recording Academy, who review submitted works and select nominees based on artistic and technical merit. The final winners are determined through a subsequent voting round, culminating in the annual Grammy Awards ceremony, where the winners are announced.
