On Tuesday, The Recording Academy will announce the list of nominees for the 2017 Grammy Awards. The past year was marked by many major releases from huge artists, as well as changes to the Grammys eligibility requirements. Albums that were released between October 1, 2015 and September 30, 2016 — and were "commercially released in general distribution," which now includes paid subscription streaming services — are eligible to be nominated.
