The organisers of Grammy Awards have dropped their so-called secret nominations committees after facing allegations of corruption. 

Announcing the news, The Recording Academy issued a statement saying that the nominations for the next Grammy Awards in January 2022 will be selected by all of its 11,000 voting members, instead of by committees of 15-30 experts.

The statement also added that the changes were made to ensure that the Grammy Awards rules and guidelines are transparent and equitable.

The Recording Academy came under fire after Canadian artist The Weeknd slammed Grammys after his biggest-selling critically acclaimed album 'After Hours' got zero nominations in 2020.
