\n\tGrammy voters are likely to be \u201cchoosin\u2019\u201d Ella Langley<\/a> in several categories in the upcoming 69th Grammy nominations, but there\u2019s one category in which her name won\u2019t appear: best new artist<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tLangley was entered in that category in each of the last three years. Grammy rules stipulate that an artist can be entered no more than three times in the category.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother red-hot country artist, Megan Moroney<\/a>, will be ineligible for the same reason.<\/p>\n

\n\tRapper Ken Carson<\/a> and R&B singer Ravyn Lenae<\/a> will also be ineligible. They were entered in each of the last two years as well as at the 2023 ceremony.<\/p>\n

\n\tHere\u2019s the rule, from the current Grammy Awards<\/a> Rules & Guidelines handbook: \u201cAn artist may not enter into this Category more than three times, including as a performing member of an established group.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThree of these artists have landed No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. Carson hit No. 1 in April 2025 with his fourth studio album, More Chaos. Moroney hit No. 1 in March 2026 with her third studio album, Cloud 9. Langley hit No. 1 in April 2026 with her second \u00a0studio album, Dandelion.<\/p>\n

\n\tCarson has released four studio albums, two mixtapes, five EPs, 15 singles (including four as a featured artist) and 20 music videos. But the Recording Academy no longer has a maximum number of releases an artist can have before they are thrown out.<\/p>\n

\n\tHere\u2019s the rule: \u201cWhile there will be no specified maximum number of releases, the Screening Committees will be charged with determining whether the artist had attained a breakthrough or prominence prior to the eligibility year. Such a determination would result in disqualification.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso not eligible, per the rulebook: \u201cAny artist with a previous Grammy nomination as a performer, including a nomination as an established member of a nominated group.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFirst-round voting for the 69th Grammy Awards<\/a> will be held from Oct. 12 to Oct. 22. Nominations will be announced on Nov. 16. Final-round voting will be held from Dec. 10 to Jan. 7, 2027. The awards will be presented on Feb. 7, 2027 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\n\tOlivia Dean <\/a>is the reigning best new artist winner. The other seven nominees at this year\u2019s ceremony were KATSEYE<\/a>, The Mar\u00edas<\/a>, Addison Rae<\/a>, sombr<\/a>, Leon Thomas<\/a>, Alex Warren<\/a> and Lola Young<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Grammy voters are likely to be \u201cchoosin\u2019\u201d Ella Langley in several categories in the upcoming 69th Grammy nominations,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":710642,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[3042,93447,49,48,75,50706,51892,341],"class_list":["post-710641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-awards","tag-best-new-artist","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-grammy-awards","tag-grammys","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=710641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/710641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/710642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=710641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=710641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=710641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
