err, judging one song vs judging the whole album? You do know there is more than one song in an album right?

OK how did Katy Perry not make it? Her album has the most number 1# of all time.

And WTF is the difference from Record of the year and Song of the year?

Because the Grammy's would rather give the award to something like "Steely Dan"... How they doing?

You asked for the difference between record of the year and song of the year. I don't know the difference between record of the year and album of the year. Guessing one of them is based on sales.

Wikipedia:

"Many wonder what the difference is between Record of the Year and Album of the Year. Record of the Year is awarded for a single or for one track from an album. This award goes to the performing artist, the producer, recording engineer, and/or mixer for that song. Album of the Year is awarded for a whole album, and the award is presented to the artist, producer, recording engineer, and mastering engineer for that album. So, in this context, "record" means one song and "album" means the whole collection of songs on a CD or LP. In essence, "record" really just means single, but the winners/nominees do not need to be released as a single to be considered."
