"50% of GRAMMY nominees are independent artists"... but are they really? Yes. But also not where it counts. I saw this stat yesterday and wanted to take a closer look at the numbers using ROSTR data. While "more than half of 2024 GRAMMY nominees" fits when you look at ALL the GRAMMY nominations - the distribution of those independent nominations is very skewed towards the more niche awards. Across the most prestigious awards the indie share is nowhere near 50%... General Field:  - Awards: Album of The Year, Record of The Year, Song of The Year and Best New Artist  - Total nominations: 32  - Independent nominations: 1(!)  - Indie share: 3% Selected Best Album Awards:  - Best Pop Album: 0/5 (0% indie share) - Best Dance/Electronic Album: 0/5 (0%) - Best Rock Album: 1/5 (20%) - Best R&B Album: 1/5 (20%) - Best Progressive R&B Album: 1/5 (20%) - Best Country Album: 2/5 (40%) - Best Alternative Album: 2/5 (40%) - Best Rap Album: 2/5 (40%) - Best Latin Pop Album: 3/6 (50%) Overall share for the above album awards: 26% -------------- Overall it’s dope that more independent artists are being nominated and the trend is a positive one (also much better gender balance these days). Also want to stress that getting nominated for any GRAMMY is a huge achievement regardless of it’s one of the more marquee awards. But I think it’s important to also keep an eye on how that ratio is distributed. 1 indie nomination from 32 in the general field sucks. 2 major best album categories having no independent nominees sucks. In the end these are often the awards that get the most TV attention. It’d be cool if we see more independent representation in these categories in future years - because there’s absolutely independent artists/albums who could be up there. ⚠️ this data is pretty rough but directionally correct #musicindustry #grammys #independentmusic

Members Clubs, the honours system and what Blur taught me about the emptiness of 'success' The Garrick club is in the news today because it has finally agreed to let women become members. It got me thinking about members clubs more generally, knighthoods, being a VIP and other external markers of success. And it reminded me of a story about two visits I made to a music festival...
