Grammy Award for Best Performance Music Video

The Grammy Award for Best Performance Music Video , in German "Grammy Award for the Best Concert Music Video", is a music prize that was awarded in 1988 and 1989 by the American Recording Academy in the field of music video .

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 outstanding performance regardless of album sales or chart position.

One of these categories was the Grammy Award for Best Performance Music Video. The prize was awarded in 1988 and 1989. As early as 1982, the Recording Academy began to award music videos with the Grammy Award for Video of the Year category . However, this category was discontinued in 1984 with the establishment of the MTV Video Music Awards in 1984 and replaced by the Grammy Award for Best Video, Short Form, and the Grammy Award for Best Video Album . Changes to the award criteria resulted in the two categories Grammy Award for Best Performance Music Video and Grammy Award for Best Concept Music Video being established in 1988 and 1989 . The Recording Academy returned to the previous format in 1990 and has since presented the Grammy Award for Best Music Video and the Grammy Award for Best Music Film .
