Is Urban Contemporary just for R&B, or could maybe "Unapologetic" be eligible?

Also what is the difference between "Record" and "Song" of the year. Is song for non-singles?

From Wikipedia:

Record of the Year is not to be confused with Song of the Year or Album of the Year:

Record of the Year is awarded for a single or for one track from an album. This award goes to the performing artist, the producer, recording engineer, and/or mixer for that song. In this sense, "record" means a single recorded song, not its composition or an album of songs.
Song of the Year is also awarded for a single or individual track, but the recipient of this award is the songwriter who actually wrote the lyrics and/or melodies to the song. Thus, "song" in this context means the song as written, not its recording.
Album of the Year is awarded for a whole album, and the award is presented to the artist, producer, recording engineer, and mastering engineer for that album. So, in this context, "album" means a recorded collection of songs (a multi-track LP, CD, or download package), not the individual songs or their compositions.

Basically one is for the recording, one for the writing

Half of the album must be rooted with elements of R&B. It could be eligible there but of course they will probably send it to pop.

Would "Suit & Tie" be eligible? I thought it had to be a rap song with a featured singer. Then again, I don't know much about the regulations ^_^

JGMAR will probably be nominated for Pop duo. i don't doubt Justin Timberlake being nominated either.

Something from Warrior deserves a nod. It was one of the best reviewed pop alberms of the year.
