What Is Album of the Year at the Grammys
Album of the Year (AOTY) is one of the four major Grammy categories, honoring overall artistic and technical excellence for a full album release. The Recording Academy selects nominees and winners based on criteria including vocal performance, songwriting, production, and album cohesion. The award is presented annually at the Grammy Awards ceremony.
AOTY Nominees and Eligibility for Grammys 2025
For the 2025 ceremony, eligible albums must have been released within the Grammy eligibility period, typically October of the prior year through September of the current year. The Recording Academy announces a shortlist of nominees in each category, which are then voted on by eligible members.
