 | | Some feel that because Grammy voters tend to vote conservatively, and are lobbied by record companies, 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 eligibility 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). |
