At all the Grammy Awards shows, all eyes are on the nominees of the coveted “Big Four” categories -Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist. These awards highlight the finest of the music industry and celebrate both upcoming talent and industry professionals.

This year’s Song is appropriately named as the honor the trace that exceeds artistic performance and quality, regardless of card position or sales numbers. This award is for a song’s composition and goes to his songwriters.
