History and background
Since 1959, the Grammy Awards are presented annually in numerous categories by the Recording Academy in the United States to recognize artistic achievement, technical competence, and overall excellence regardless of album sales or chart position.
One of these categories was the Grammy Award for Best Gospel / Contemporary Christian Music Performance . The award was first given in 1968 under the name Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance and only given for albums. In 1971 the award was renamed the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance (other than soul gospel) , awarded for albums and singles. He kept this designation until 1977. In 1978 the award was divided into the two new categories Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance, Traditional and Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance, Contemporary . The original category was revived in 2005 and given the Grammy Award for Best Gospel Performance . After a major overhaul of the Grammy categories, the 2012 award was renamed the Grammy Award for Best Gospel / Contemporary Christian Music Performance and was used until 2014. In 2015 the music genres gospel and Christian pop music were restructured again and the new Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance / Song was created.
