When the GRAMMYs 2023?

The 2023 Grammy Awards will be held at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on Feb. 5, the Recording Academy has announced.

In addition to revealing the date of the event dubbed “music’s biggest night,” the Academy also detailed its key voting and nomination deadlines. Nominees will be announced this year on Nov. 15, with the first round of voting set from Oct. 13 to Oct. 23 and a final round on Dec. 14 to Jan. 4, 2023. The 65th Grammy Awards will broadcast live on the CBS Television Network and stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.

The product eligibility period for the Grammys process started on Oct. 1, 2021 and will close on Sept. 30 of this year. The online entry period will start on July 18 and close on Aug. 31.

This year’s Grammy Awards were held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, due to the fast-spreading omicron variant, marking it the first time the telecast was held anywhere but L.A. or New York since 1973, when it was held in Nashville. The new location drew mixed reviews and complaints of chaotic crowds and transportation difficulties.

In June, the Recording Academy announced several new awards and rule changes, including songwriter of the year (non-classical), best score soundtrack for video games and other interactive media, and a special merit award for best song for social change. Elsewhere, the Grammys entry and voting processes were updated to include a rule that ups the minimum new content for album eligibility from 50% to 75%.

Details regarding next year’s Grammy Week events will be announced in the coming months. For the complete rules and guidelines for the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, visit here.

As we enter the For Your Consideration period of the 2023 Grammy Awards, it’s time to revisit the conversation around one of the most frequently confusing categories at the annual awards show: Best New Artist.

Last year, we dug into the head-scratching slew of nominees, which included Japanese Breakfast, Glass Animals (who have been active for more than a decade), and FINNEAS (who had already won eight Grammy Awards at the time of his nomination in this category).

Before Grammy nominations for 2023 are released on Tuesday, November 15th, we’re breaking down everything to know about the Best New Artist category.


Who Was Nominated for Best New Artist in 2022?

The Academy tends to ultimately grant the Best New Artist to fairly established artists who are having an exceptional breakthrough year. In 2022, the nominees were Olivia Rodrigo, Arooj Aftab, Jimmy Allen, Baby Keem, FINNEAS, Glass Animals, Japanese Breakfast, and The Kid LAROI.

As for the past three years, Rodrigo won in 2022, while Megan Thee Stallion took the prize in 2021, and Billie Eilish snagged the honor in 2020.

Which Artists are Eligible for Best New Artist in 2023?

According to Billboard, a whopping 368 artists have submitted to the category for the 2023 round of nominations.

To be eligible, an artist or act must have released a minimum of five songs or one album, may not have submitted for the Best New Artist category more than three times, and must have “achieved a breakthrough into the public consciousness during the eligibility period.” That last point, being a bit vague, is often the cause of confusion when it comes to nominees who land in this category.

With First Round GRAMMY voting around the corner, here’s everything you need to know about the voting process before nominees for the 65th GRAMMY Awards are announced Tuesday, Nov. 15.

To help ensure the quality of GRAMMY voting, members are directed to vote only in their areas of expertise. 

THE GRAMMY BALLOT, UPGRADED 

This year’s GRAMMY ballot will continue to include the personalization, search and flexibility that voters love, with one key added benefit. 

To make the voting process even more seamless, we’re launching a category selection tool that will minimize scrolling time and create an easy-to-use, custom ballot for each voter.

2023 marks a huge milestone in music history with the upcoming 50th anniversary of hip-hop.

The Online Entry Process For The 2023 GRAMMYs Is Now Open: Watch Our Step-By-Step Explainer Video

For those looking to submit their music and works for GRAMMY consideration at the 2023 GRAMMYs, the Recording Academy has produced a helpful, step-by-step video walkthrough of the 65th GRAMMY Awards Online Entry Process.

Article updated Monday, Aug. 1, to include the 65th GRAMMY Awards: The Online Entry Process Explained video.

The GRAMMY Awards are Music’s Biggest Night, but it takes the whole year to get there. And the journey to the annual GRAMMY Awards begins with the Recording Academy’s Online Entry Process (OEP).

For those looking to submit their music and works for GRAMMY consideration at the upcoming 2023 GRAMMYs, officially known as the 65th GRAMMY Awards., recordings must be submitted during the OEP to be eligible; the OEP this year opens Monday, July 18, at 9 a.m. PT/noon ET and closes on Wednesday, August 31, at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET.

Plus, it’s important to note, there is only one round in which to make entries, and we encourage everyone to make entries as early as possible so that the Recording Academy’s Awards team can assist with any questions in a timely manner. Typically, we receive over 20,000 entries each year.

While submitting entries during the annual OEP is straightforward, everyone can use a primer. Here’s how the OEP works:

  • Recording Academy members in good standing and registered media companies submit recordings for GRAMMY consideration through the OEP.

  • The eligibility period for the 65th GRAMMY Awards is Friday, Oct. 1, 2021 – Friday, Sept. 30, 2022. All eligible awards entries must be released within this timeframe.

  • There is one round in which to make entries. This year, that window runs from Monday, July 18, at 9 a.m. PT/noon ET to Wednesday, August 31, at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET, which means now's the time to submit products for consideration ahead of Music's Biggest Night before the window closes at the end of August.

Submissions for GRAMMY consideration through OEP can only be made by registered Media Companies and Academy Members (Voting and Professional). Registered Companies are not permitted to vote in the GRAMMY Awards Process. Companies will receive OEP instructions by email pending registration approval.

Media Company Registration will be open during the following dates this year:

Monday, July 11, at 9 a.m. PT/noon ET — Wednesday, August 24, at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET

To register an existing or new Media Company and to reference the OEP Timetable, visit here.

To help the music community prepare for the upcoming 65th GRAMMY Awards season, the Recording Academy has produced a helpful, step-by-step video walkthrough of the 65th GRAMMY Awards Online Entry Process. The video guide gives a complete overview of the OEP, an inside look at what the OEP website looks like, and includes a Q&A with our Awards team.

Watch the 65th GRAMMY Awards: The Online Entry Process Explained video in full below and learn everything you need to know about submitting your entries during the upcoming GRAMMY season.

The Recording Academy looks forward to seeing everyone at the webinar to ensure that every qualified entrant can easily navigate the OEP this year and submit product for GRAMMY consideration — without stress, fuss or confusion!

Why Is It Important To Vote For The 2023 GRAMMYs? Prince Royce, Antwane, Andrew Joslyn & Other Recording Academy Members Speak

The Recording Academy made good on its promise of transparency, instituting major changes surrounding the GRAMMY Awards voting process. That's why it's more important than ever to vote this season, these artists say.

|Recording Academy/Oct 21, 2022 - 08:50 pm

There are only two days left to participate in first-round voting for the 2023 GRAMMYs; final-round voting will commence Dec. 14.

If you're a Recording Academy member, and you haven't yet voted, check out the list linked below — a detailed series of reasons why participating in this precious process is so important to the music community worldwide.

But if you'd rather hear it directly from Recording Academy members, they have your back. In a series of Twitter Spaces and Instagram Live conversations, Recording Academy members from Prince Royce to Antwane opened up about the cruciality of this process.

In an Oct. 19 Twitter Spaces conversation co-helmed by the Recording Academy and R&B publication Rated R&B, Len Brown — the head of hip-hop, R&B and reggae at the Academy — and Rated R&B editorial assistant Antwane Folk — underlined why it's so important to raise your voice and vote for the 2023 GRAMMYs.

"It's important in the sense that you want your genre represented — in this case, we're talking R&B, rap, or whatever," Brown said. "You want to make sure those people are getting their just deserts, and their recognition."

Folk raised a germane point in response: "That doesn't mean these are going to be major artists," he said. "These can be independent artists that are among the five nominated.

"This is a peer-based award," Folk added. "These are people within the music community — performers, songwriters, producers, engineers, instrumentalists, and other creators who are actively working in the recording industry, who can determine the GRAMMY winners and GRAMMY nominees each year."

"That's what makes it different from the other awards," Brown replied. "You have media pundits; you have journalists; you have fans; you have a lot of other folks that are weighing in on certain people winning."

In comparison, he said, "This award is about the people that do it, just like you."

Another Twitter Spaces moderated by Recording Academy Membership Manager Amanda Garcia Davenport included Songwriters & Composers Wing Managing Director Susan Stewart, violinist and recording artist Andrew Joslyn, and blues singer/songwriter Diana Durrett.

"The people that are writing songs for a living and are producing records — that's who's going to be voting for you," Durrett said. "I think that's nice that you're going to be respected and awarded [by] someone who really is in there, and knows what it takes to make a recording, or write a great song."

Echoing other's remarks about the GRAMMYs being a peer-to-peer award, Stewart chimed in: "That's why we need our whole, entire community represented in voting for this."

Joslyn noted the importance of "uphold[ing] the integrity of the awards — because it's peer-[to-peer], we need that input from the entire populace of the music industry." Also, he pointed out, the show isn't just for its own sake — it funds the Academy's critical ventures, like MusiCares and Advocacy.

Over on Instagram, Recording Academy Executive Director Jessica Toon spoke with Thunderpussy vocalist Molly Sides and music producer Dani Deahl.

Sides framed the voting process as "showing up" for our peers and colleagues to "spark change"; Toon noted it as "the ultimate music discovery tool." And Diehl correctly pointed out that being a Recording Academy member goes several steps beyond simply voting.

"You actually get to help shape the rules and the categories," Diehl continued, "and really, foundationally change the way things operate."

For example, she added, she helped push forward a proposal to add the "/Electronic" tag to "Best Dance Album" — which may seem like a subtle change, but significantly helped open up the category to other artists in the electronic realm.

Traveling back in time a week and change, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. held an enlightening conversation on IG Live with Om'mas Keith, the Secretary and Treasurer of the Recording Academy's Board of Trustees; and Tammy Hurt, Chair of the Board of Trustees.

"There used to be things called committees that were doing some work to try to curate and pull together the right nominations. They were groups that made sure that last-minute entries weren't overlooked, or making sure there were things that were in the right places. " Mason said.

"Those are no longer in place," he continued. It is purely the vote of the members — the vote of your peers, the vote of people who are listening to the music and judging it on the quality… and excellence of the art. It's not streams; it's not sales, popularity, Instagram followers, who charted."

"That's why I'm part of the GRAMMYs," Keith added. "Because it's such a powerful award, and it feels so good to win an award knowing that your peers awarded you."

And speaking more broadly of positive shifts in the Academy throughout her decade-long tenure, Hurt cited Recording Academy membership as the key, driving force. "[We took] this feedback that we'd gotten, and [took] the initiatives that had begun. 

"The Academy is what it is today because we're finally starting to get the right people in the room," Hurt continued. "The right people to have the conversations — the right people to vote on the awards. It's really, truly a new day — a new era."

The "Your Vote Your Voice" Twitter Spaces series continued on Oct. 21, with Latin pop/R&B singer Prince Royce, singer/songwriter Tanerélle, and pop/rockers Deep Sea Diver — moderated by veteran music executive Quiana Conley.

Speaking to why certain artists will be nominated for 2023 GRAMMYs, Tanerélle underscored the supremacy of musical quality — period.

"It doesn't have anything to do with the stata of the charts," she said, "but how you genuinely feel, from the people you're listening to and the creators that you admire, that uplift you and inspire you."

Deep Sea Diver's Jessica Dobson noted that the process once seemed relatively opaque to her. "To be honest, in my mind, there were a lot of presumptions that I had, and a lot of mystique around what the GRAMMYs were and how the process worked," she said. And with time, "it was demystified, and I also had a lot of wrong assumptions."

"Oftentimes, people that complain about nominations aren't even voting," Royce said. "So, for me, one thing is educating people about what the Academy is about, and how voting goes down."

Let these inspiring conversations on Twitter and Instagram clear up any misconceptions or misgivings about the GRAMMYs voting process — so you, too, can get out and vote!
