FEMUSINDO.com - Record of the Year is a Grammy Award for the best recording of the year given to a particular song or single.

The Record of the Year Award is one of the four "General Field" categories at the awards (along with Best New Artist, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year) which is the most prestigious and has been given since 1959 until now.

This award is given to all parties involved in the recording process, including singers, producers, recording engineers, mixing engineers, and mastering engineers.

The Grammy Award for Record of the Year is presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) in the United States.

This award honors artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, regardless of sales or chart position.

The Recording Academy (formerly the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences; abbreviated as NARAS) is an American learned academy consisting of musicians, producers, recording workers and other music professionals. 

The academy is best known for its Grammy Awards, which recognize achievements in the music industry for songs and music that are popular around the world.

The Recording Academy is a founding partner of the Grammy Museum, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to preserve and educate about the history and meaning of music.

The Recording Academy also founded MusiCares, a charity with the stated purpose of affecting the health and well-being of the music community.

The Recording Academy's advocacy team lobbies for the rights of music creators at the local, state, and federal levels.

A few things to note about the Record of the Year award: It is given to a specific recorded song, not a composition or album of songs.

This award is different from the Song of the Year award, which is given to the composer of a song, and there are some exceptions for operas and music videos/films.

Also, recordings submitted for this award must be released within the appropriate time period and made available to the public as a separate purchase or audio streaming. (*)
