So you could release 30 singles, and still be nominated for Best New Artist?

"3 albums or 30 singles" GIRL who is releasing 10+ singles per album these days?

Yeah, this is so strange.

So Lady Gaga and Katy Perry can still be nominated for this award?

No? Gaga has 4 albums and Katy has 3. As soon as an artist releases their third album, they're ineligible.

By 30 singles, I assume they just mean songs?

Like 20 songs on debut album. 10 songs on sophomore album, and that's it. Your ineligible. I doubt they mean 30 singles released to radio and promoted.

Shawn has like 25 songs in total or something. So if he releases 5 more then that's it for him.

All makes sense, except that BNA category

I can see One Dance snatched that Rap/Sung performance

I don't get the major rap change, can someone explain?

Okay? Someone else already corrected my mistake. I misread the OP. No need to tell me twice.

How though? Where's the rapping in One Dance? It's just a Pop song with singing.

Instead of a song having to be a rap/sung collab to be nominated (like Love the Way You Lie), a song can now be nominated that is just rap/sung and not necessarily a collab (like Iggy Azalea's Team or Drake's Controlla).

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that's the change.

seems like good changes

It means Rihanna (PIU or BBHMM) and Bey (Hold Up) can be nominated without featuring a rappers
