"Most notably, artists who previously appeared on an Album of the Year-nominated record can now be considered for Best New Artist, provided their contributions amounted to 20 percent or less of that album. Two new categories have also been added: Best Traditional Country Album and Best Album Cover, bringing the total number of Grammy categories to 95. Additionally, Best Country Album has been renamed Best Contemporary Country Album,"
