The Recording Academy says the new Asian pop category will proceed after receiving robust submissions and support from music creators, despite objections from BTS and others.
- On Thursday, October 1, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. confirmed the new Best Asian Pop Music Performance category will proceed for the 2027 Grammy Awards despite controversy.
- K-Pop superstars BTS and Stray Kids boycotted the ceremony, citing concerns the category segregates artists by region or language rather than recognizing global impact.
- Following weeks of listening sessions, The Academy reported receiving a "robust" number of submissions and cited "broad-based support for the category" from fellow music creators.
- Officials clarified that artists can still compete in General Field categories like Album of the Year, though eligible recordings must feature "meaningful use of one or more Asian languages."
- Nominees for the 69th annual Grammy Awards are scheduled to be announced November 16, with the ceremony set for February 7, 2027.
