Artist compliation albums From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grammy Nominees was a series of various artists compilation albums, released from 1995–2020, celebrating the best of the music industry. Albums were released before the airing of the annual Grammy Awards. All of the songs on the albums were Grammy nominated in the year released. Other Grammy series albums were briefly issued for rap nominees (1999–2001) and Latin nominees (1998–2005).
