Among the artists, Adele was the biggest winner of the night, receiving five trophies, including Album of the Year for 25, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year for "Hello". Adele also became the first musician in history to win all three general field awards in the same ceremony twice, previously winning all three categories in 2012.[10] David Bowie and Greg Kurstin followed with four trophies.

    Changes

    [edit]

    In June 2016, the Grammy organization announced a few minor changes to the voting and awarding process.[2]

    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

    [edit]

    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:

    Blues categories

    [edit]

    The Best Blues Album category will branch into two distinct categories:

    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

    [edit]

    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.
