  "account": "The Recording Academy announced a rule change in June, allowing artists to be entered up to four times in the Best New Artist category, up from the previous limit of three. This change excluded artists like Ella Langley, Ken Carson, and Geese from consideration. Rod Wave and Don Toliver, who had consistently topped Billboard charts, were also allowed into the category. The academy's screening committee decided that these artists had significant cultural and community impact prior to the eligibility year, which ran from August 2025 to August 2026. A total of 331 artists are competing for the eight slots in this category, which is often seen as one of the most prestigious Grammy categories.",

    "Recording Academy allows up to four Best New Artist nominations per artist.",
