The Grammy Award for Best Dance / Electronic Album (German: "Grammy Award for the best dance / electronic album") is a music prize that has been awarded at the annual Grammy Awards since 2005 . It honors particularly outstanding albums from dance and electronica music.
Background and story
The Grammy Awards (actually Grammophone Awards), which have been presented since 1958, are presented annually in numerous categories by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) in the United States of America for artistic achievement, technical competence and excellent overall performance regardless of the album - Honor sales or chart position.
This award was first given to Basement Jaxx in 2005 as Best Electronic / Dance Album for their album Kish Kash . In 2012 the award was renamed to Best Dance / Electronica Album after a reorganization of the categories , from 2015 it is called Best Dance / Electronic Album . Albums can be nominated for the category whose playing time consists of at least 51% new vocal or instrumental pieces from the music genres dance and electronica . Compilations or remix albums cannot be nominated.
Skrillex has been the only one to win the award three times; The Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk each received two awards. With four nominations, The Chemical Brothers also hold the record for most nominations. David Guetta , Paul Oakenfold , Robyn , Goldfrapp and Deadmau5 were each nominated twice, but never won the award. So far, the award has gone five times to artists and groups from the United Kingdom and the United States, three times to French groups and once each to musicians from Australia and Germany.
