The Grammy Award for Record of the Year is presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical ability and overall excellence in the recording industry, regardless of sales or chart position. "The Record of the Year award is one of the four most prestigious categories in awards (along with Best New Artist, Song of the Year and Album of the Year) presented annually since the 1 st Grammy Awards in 1959. According to the Grammy Awards 54th guide, awards presented:
for commercially released singles or new vocal or instrumental recording tracks. Songs from previous year's albums may be included as long as the track did not enter the previous year and provided the album did not win the Grammy. Award to artist, producer, engineer and/or mixer if other than artist.
Since the 55th Grammy Awards in 2013, mastering engineers are considered nominations and award recipients in this category.
Record of the Year is related but conceptually different from Song of the Year or Album of the Year:
- Record of the Year is awarded for one or one song from an album. This award is given to performing artists, producers, recording engineers and/or mixers for the song. In this sense, "note" means a particular recorded song, not a composition or a song album.
- Song of the Year is also awarded for single or individual songs, but the recipient of this award is a songwriter who actually writes the lyrics and/or melodies on the song. "Song" in this context means the song as composed, not the recording.
- Album of the Year was awarded for the entire album, and awards were given to artists, producers, recording engineers, and mastery engineers for the album. In this context, "album" means a collection of recorded songs (multi-track LP, CD, or download package), not individual songs or compositions.
