Grammy 2015 Nominees: Commercial and Critical Success

 

Bound to prove commercial and critical success can intertwine as the two stood side by side on the year 2014, the newest in the GRAMMY Nominees album series comes out this year featuring the most significant acts in music in the past year. “The exceptional mix of recordings featured on this year’s compilation not only represent a roster of incredibly talented artists but also provides a unique playlist showcasing some of this year’s outstanding GRAMMY nominees. It is fitting that our 21st instalment album contains 21 exciting selections which music fans are sure to enjoy,” Neil Portnow, the President/CEO of The Recording Academy, expressed.

The GRAMMY 2015 Nominees album is sure to deliver the same, if not more, of the mojos that the previous ones in the decade have as instant classics emblazon the compilationโ€™s tracklistโ€“all of which have their eyes on only the top Grammy categories, anticipating their golden gramophones on the 8th of February later this year.

Witnessing a vast change in the production and consumption of music since the turn of the decade and going halfway to a new one, the GRAMMY 2015 Nominees album takes its spot in the series and proves yet again that lucrative commercial reception can equate to critical acclaim, as justified by the chart-blazers which, at this point (pre-ceremonies, pre-red carpet, pre-awarding) already have the nods of the authorities in the worldโ€™s most influential industry.
