Award winners

[edit]

The Grammy Award for Best New Artist was originally awarded to Milli Vanilli. However, on November 20, 1990, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences revoked the award[3][4][5] after producer Frank Farian admitted the duo did not sing at all on their album, Girl You Know It's True.[6] As of the 2023 ceremony, this is the only time where a Grammy has been revoked.
