Overview

• Wallen’s team confirmed they will not enter the album, any of its 37 tracks, or Wallen himself in any category, and they will not seek songwriting nods for tracks he co-wrote.
• Contributors are free to submit their own work from the project, leaving open the possibility of nominations tied to collaborations.
• I’m the Problem has logged 11 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, produced multiple country radio and Hot Country Songs leaders, and yielded a Hot 100 No. 1 with Tate McRae.
• Despite his commercial run, Wallen’s only Grammy nominations to date were for his appearance on Post Malone’s F1 Trillion, with no solo nominations on his record.
• The move comes ahead of the Recording Academy’s first-round voting window of Oct. 3–15 and mirrors past high-profile nonparticipation by artists such as The Weeknd, Drake and Frank Ocean.
