65th Annual Grammy Awards

Background

Category changes

• Five categories – Best Alternative Music Performance, Best Americana Performance, Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, Best Spoken Word Poetry Album, and Songwriter of the Year, Non-Classical – were added.
• A Special Merit Award, Best Song for Social Change, was added. The award will be determined by a Blue Ribbon Committee and is destined to reward songs that "contain lyrical content that addresses a timely social issue and promotes understanding, peacebuilding and empathy".
• For the categories of Best Opera Recording and Best Classical Compendium, composers and librettists became eligible for the award.
• Best New Age Album was renamed Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album.
• For Best Musical Theater Album, composers and lyricists of more than 50% of the score of a new recording became eligible for the award.
• Best Spoken Word Album was renamed Best Audio Book, Narration & Storytelling Recording. Spoken word poetry is no longer eligible for this award and is now recognized with the Best Spoken Word Poetry Album category.

Album eligibility

• In order to be eligible for consideration, albums must contain greater than 75% playing time of newly recorded music; the previous eligibility rule was 50%. This rule does not apply to the categories of Best Compilation Soundtrack, Best Historical Album, Best Immersive Audio Album, Best Recording Package, Best Special Package, and Best Album Notes.
