What Music Is Eligible + How Do Grammy Voters Vote?

In order for a recording to be considered for a Grammy Award at the 2025 ceremony, there is a window of period for eligibility. That would be for recordings released between Sept. 16, 2023 and Aug. 30, 2024.

Recording Academy members and record companies enter recordings and music videos released during the eligibility year which they consider worthy of recognition in the GRAMMY Awards process. Reviewing sessions are then held by more than 350 experts in various Fields are held to ensure that entered recordings meet specific qualifications and have been placed in appropriate Fields.

First round ballots are then sent to voting members in good standing. Members are directed to vote only in their areas of expertise.
