Grammy Rule Change

Lady Gaga has sold over 1.5 million copies of her debut album ?The Fame? but is ineligible for the Best New Artist category at this year?s Grammy Awards due to her nomination for ?Just Dance? last year in the Best Dance Recording category. Jennifer Hudson also suffered a similar fate last year as she was snubbed for the Best New Artist category as she was previously nominated in the Outstanding Motion Picture Soundtrack Compilation category for ?Dreamgirls?. Now, Grammy president Neil Portnow is addressing the problem, saying ?This particular issue in the Best New Artist category is on our radar and I would expect changes to address it in next year’s voting.?
