"Grammys Expand Categories to Include Pop Dance and African Music Performances"

The Grammys will add three new categories in 2024, including best pop dance recording, best African music performance, and best alternative jazz album. Two existing categories have been moved to the general field, allowing all Grammy voters to participate in selecting the winners. The changes reflect an evolving music industry and a commitment to diversity. The new African music performance category will highlight regional musical traditions, while the pop dance recording category will focus on up-tempo, danceable music. The alternative jazz album category will spotlight jazz albums that blend with other musical styles.
