In sheer numbers alone, Adele is currently the clear-cut reigning queen of music. Her new album "25" debuted at #1 in multiple markets, setting a new record for the most downloads of her single "Hello" in its first week. Adele sold 3.38 million copies of "25" in its first week as the largest single-week album sale since sales were even tracked beginning in 1991. Still, there's one honor 25 won't be seeing just yet?a Grammy Award. This morning, nominees for the 2015 Grammy Awards were announced and many music industry greats were recognized, such as The Weeknd and Taylor Swift Still, the stunning British crooner and her wildly successful record were left in the dark. Why? She's simply not eligible.
In its outline of the rules and regulations regarding submissions, the Grammy's website says albums must have been released between Oct. 1, 2014 and Sept. 30, 2015.
Unfortunately, neither Adele's single "Hello" nor her album were released in that time frame.
