The Grammis (sometimes referred to as the Swedish Grammy Awards) are music awards presented annually to musicians and songwriters in Sweden. The oldest Swedish music awards[1] were instituted as a local equivalent of the Grammy Awards given in the United States.[2] The awards ceremony is generally held each year in February in Stockholm. The awards were established in 1969 and awarded until 1972 when they were canceled, then revived in 1987.

There are around 20 different award-categories, which have changed over the years. Swedish artists and foreign artists who live in Sweden are eligible, as are artists in other countries if their music is produced in Sweden and targets a Swedish audience.[2]

The awards are presented by IFPI Sverige, along with the newspaper Expressen.

History

[edit]
Berns salonger, venue for the first Grammis ceremony in 1969

The first Grammis were presented on 25 September 1969 at Berns salonger in Stockholm.[3] They were presented annually until 1972, after which they were discontinued.[4] This was attributed the influence of music critics on the awards, especially after the win of unidentified group Philemon Arthur and the Dung at the 1972 ceremony.[1][4] The Grammis were reinstated in 1987, fifteen years later.[4]

During an acceptance speech at the 1993 ceremony, Popsicle guitarist Fredrik Norberg wished that the members of Arvingarna would die in a bus accident.[5] This incident caused a scandal in Sweden and the band's next record was cancelled.[6][7] Following the 2011 ceremony, the separate categories of Best Female Artist and Best Male Artist were abolished and one Best Artist award was instead awarded.[8]

Following the 2019 ceremony, the award for Children's Music of the Year was cut, with the IFPI citing low submissions to the category and the challenge of having an adult jury decide on an award for children.[9] The decision received criticism and was reinstated for the 2021 ceremony.[10] The 2021 ceremony was postponed from its usual February date to June due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden.[10][11]

Ceremonies

[edit]

Since the 1988 ceremony, the Grammis have been held at the beginning of the year to recognize music from the preceding year.[3] With the exception of the 1970 ceremony held in Lidingö, every ceremony has taken place at venues in Stockholm.[3]

First Aid Kit with their Grammis trophies at the 2013 ceremony

The original Grammis trophy was a plaquette of stained pine and silver, designed by Claës Giertta [sv] and made to be hung on a wall.[4][25] The trophy was redesigned in 2007 by Efva Attling and made by Orrefors.[26][27] It weighs 2.2 kg (4.9 lb), made of glass with a platinum star, and was designed so that it could be lifted with one hand. Attling described her inspiration as "the Empire State Building meets the Hötorget buildings".[27]

Children's Album of the Year

[edit]

An award for children's music has been presented since the start of the Grammis and has undergone numerous name changes over the years, the latest being Children's Album of the Year (Årets barnalbum) as of the 2002 ceremony.[3][24] It was not presented at the 2020 ceremony.

Classical of the Year

[edit]

Awards for classical music have been presented since the inaugural ceremony (with a gap in the 1990s), then referring to "serious music" (seriös musik). Classical of the Year (Årets klassiska) can be awarded to an ensemble or a soloist; it has previously been presented as two separate categories.[3][24]

Dansband of the Year

[edit]

An award in the dansband category has been presented since the 1988 ceremony, then called Dance of the Year (Årets dans). It has been renamed several times, sometimes including Schlager in its name, and is now called Dansband of the Year (Årets dansband), as of the 2010 ceremony.[3][24]

Electro/Dance of the Year

[edit]

An award for electro and dance music was first presented at the 1993 ceremony, then called Modern Dance (Modern dans). It was later known as Club/Dance of the Year (Årets klubb/dans) and as Electro/Dance of the Year (Årets elektro/dans) as of the 2001 ceremony. For several years, the category was merged with the one for hip hop and soul. To be eligible, nominees must have released at least two singles or an album.[3][24]

Group of the Year

[edit]

Group of the Year (Årets grupp) was first awarded at the 1969 ceremony, and subsequently during several other years.[3][24]

[edit]

Music Video of the Year (Årets musikvideo) has been awarded since 1990 to the director of a music video that accompanies one song. The director must be a Swedish citizen or permanent resident. Voting for the category is done in two steps: first by a large jury, then by a specialized jury. In several years during the 2000s, the category was presented with MTV Sweden.[3][24]

Newcomer of the Year (Årets nykomling) has been awarded since 1988 to an artist at the beginning of their musical career. Nominees must have released at least two songs or a debut album and must not have previously submitted for nomination. A group can be eligible if fewer than 50% of its members have previously released albums. The category was previously presented as Debut Popular Production of the Year (Årets debutpopulärproduktion) in 1970 and 1971.[3][24]

Awards for rock music on their own have been presented since the 1990 ceremony. Prior to this, awards in combined Pop/Rock categories have been presented, a practice which sometimes continued into the 1990s and 2000s. It was previously separated into group and solo artist (male and female) categories, but has been one gender-neutral award since 2012.[3][24]

Song of the Year

[edit]

Song of the Year (Årets låt) has been awarded since 1990. Previously decided by the public, it is now chosen by a jury from the ten most popular songs of the year, based on sales, airplay, and streaming.[3][24]

Songwriter of the Year

[edit]

Songwriter of the Year (Årets kompositör) was first awarded at the 1969 ceremony, and then annually since the 1989 ceremony. The award can be presented to an individual or a songwriting team.[3][24]
