Justice, Four Tet, Kaytranada & Charli XCX Lead 2025 Dance/Electronic Grammy Nominations
Written by djfrosty on November 8, 2024
Nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards were announced Friday (Nov. 8), with the Recording Academy recognizing a wide range of artists in the four dance categories.
The fields were introduced by Kylie Minogue during the Grammy nominations livestream, with the Australian icon last year being the first-ever recipient of the pop dance award, newly introduced to the ceremony in 2024 and now called dance pop.
The dance artists with the most nominations this year include Justice, who clocked a nom for recording and album with their 2024 singler “Neverender” and the album from whence it came, Hyperdrama. Four Tet is also a double nominee this year, in the album category for his release Three and its track “Loved.” Zedd also scored an album nomination for his first LP in nine years, Telos.
Meanwhile Charli XCX make three appearances in the dance nominations, with her club-ready Brat in the album category, the electro throwback “Von Dutch” in recording and the A.G. Cook remix of that same song in best remixed recording.

In June, the Recording Academy unveiled a flurry of rule tweaks that will be implemented at the 2025 awards. Among these 10 changes, three were directly related to the dance/electronic categories, with a fourth also affecting those categories.
One of the changes involves an award that was introduced to the Grammys just this year, with the best pop dance recording category now being called best dance pop recording. This tweak is not just a matter of aesthetics, but meant to make the category more accurately reflect the well-established style of dance pop music it was created to showcase.
The next rule change involves the best remixed recording category, which has long focused on dance/electronic artists but was never an official dance/electronic category. That changes in 2025, with this category being moved from the production, engineering, composition and arrangement field into the pop and dance/electronic field
