Gives Fans Two Chances to Win Trips to Attend Music’s Biggest Night®
Atlantic Records and The Recording Academy®‘s GRAMMY Recordings® will release the 2014 GRAMMY® Nominees album on Jan. 21, 2014, in stores and via digital retailers. The 20th anniversary installment of the best-selling series features 18 top-charting hits from a diverse array of this year’s GRAMMY-nominated artists and songwriters. In conjunction with the album’s release, music fans will have the opportunity to win trips to the 56th or 57th Annual GRAMMY Awards®.
The 2014 GRAMMY® Nominees album includes many of the year’s most prominent recordings and performers, highlighted by all the nominated artists and songs in the high-profile Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best New Artist, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Country Album categories. The collection is made possible by a special arrangement with all of the major music distribution companies and rotates labels from year to year. A portion of the proceeds from sales of the album benefits the year-round efforts of the GRAMMY Foundation® and MusiCares Foundation® — two charitable organizations of The Recording Academy.
“For more than 20 years we have been creating some incredible editions of the GRAMMY Nominees album, which again represents some of the great songs and talented artists that make up this year’s remarkable nominees,” said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy. “We thank Atlantic Records for its collaboration on this project, which provides much needed support for the invaluable programs and initiatives our charities produce year-round. We look forward to another successful GRAMMY compilation.”
“We are honored to be joining with The Recording Academy to release this fantastic collection of GRAMMY-nominated performances and songs,” said Atlantic Chairman and COO Julie Greenwald. “It’s an exciting reflection of the tremendous range of talent that captured the ears of the public and the industry alike over the past year. And we’re especially proud to be associated with an album that helps support the essential missions of The Academy’s charitable endeavors.”
