This is one I’ve been wondering about for a while and only recently decided to research in advance of this year’s awards. Here’s all the info you need to impress your friends on Sunday:
Record of the Year
Awarded to a single track // Award goes to the performing artist, producer, recording engineer, and/or mixer
Album of the Year
Awarded to a whole album // Award goes to the performing artist, producer and recording engineer
Song of the Year
Awarded to a single track // Award goes to the songwriter who originally conceived of, and wrote, the song (this can be the performing artist, but may not be)
