  • RECORD OF THE YEAR (NEW RELEASE)
  • RECORD OF THE YEAR (REISSUE)
  • RECORD STORE DAY RELEASE OF THE YEAR
  • BREAKOUT OF THE YEAR 

"There are a lot of prizes and awards being handed out these days," the organization said in a statement, "but we thought there was definitely room for one more, especially when the folks deciding who got the glory definitely knew their stuff."
