MODERATORS
Yeah, IIRC they did this with latino artists as well, so they can avoid giving them major awards. Their criteria is bullshit too, something like 99% of lyrics shouldn’t be english. So if an asian artist has a big hit but it’s a song in english, then they aren’t eligible.
An argument could be made for many of their categories - keeping eligibility for the biggest award categories to the industry darlings.
