 Definition of Grammy award
Some feel that because Grammy voters tend to vote conservatively, and are marketed to by record companies (viewed as pushing artists that sell to "teenage girls and housewives"), the most widely-recognized Grammys tend to go to either well-established artists or those being hyped by the recording industry.
Unlike the Academy Awards, for which the eligiblilty period begins January 1, the eligibility period for the Grammys begins October 1, which results in September being considered the Christmas sales period for the music industry (in which artists generally release big albums to qualify for the next year's Grammy).
So, for example, John Lennon and Yoko Ono's album Double Fantasy was released in November, 1980, a month-and-a-half too late to qualify for the 1981 Grammys, and thus eligible for the 1982 awards (it eventually won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year).

 ABC News: CBS renews Grammy Awards deal for five years   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The renewal deal comes five months after the 47th annual Grammys telecast drew the show's smallest TV audience in a decade, averaging 18.8 million viewers on Sunday, Feb. 13, in tough competition against ABC's new blockbuster hit "Desperate Housewives." The year before, the Grammys fared considerably better, averaging more than 26 million viewers.
CBS said last month it was moving the 2006 Grammy broadcast back to mid-week, where the show had been an annual February "sweeps" staple from 1978 through 2003.
But like the film industry's Oscars and the TV industry's Emmy Awards, the Grammy ceremony is still regarded as one of the marquee showbiz specials each season.
