When the Grammy nominations last came out everyone was shocked that The Weeknd did not get a single nomination despite having one of the biggest albums of the year. He then called out the Recording Academy’s “secret committees” who helps decide who won in each category, saying that they need to be more transparent about the deciding process. This past Friday the Recording Academy made the announcement that they are changing up the nomination process for next year’s show. So instead of this small group of people having the final decision, it will be decided by a majority of Academy voting members. But what does this mean for The Weeknd who said he doesn’t want to partake in the show anymore. He is standing by that and is not going to even let his music be considered for nomination from now on and is continuing his boycott. Speaking of the Weeknd being great at what he does he has become the first male artist in history to achieve 3 number one hit songs on the Billboard Hot 100 from the same album in three different years with “Heartless” “Blinding Lights” and “Save Your Tears”!
