Many artists have boycotted the Grammys but none have seen results like The Weeknd after his 2021 boycott.<\/p>\n

The Grammys announced a major change is coming to future award shows.
\nOn Friday the recording Academy announced changes to the list of rules to \u201creflect its ongoing commitment to evolve with the musical landscape\u201d and \u201censure that the Grammy Awards rules and guidelines are transparent and equitable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The most notable update is the decision to remove the nomination Review Committee which were groups of \u201c15-30 highly skilled music peers who represented and voted within their genre communities for the final selection of nominees.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Weeknd dragged the secret committees after being tapped to perform at the award show but not receiving a single nomination despite having a commercially successful year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Grammys remain corrupt. You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency\u2026\u201d He tweeted after the 2021 nominations were released ahead of the show.
