The Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album is an award presented at the Grammy Awards — a ceremony that was established in 1958 — honor quality dance and electronica albums in any given year. The award was first presented at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards in 2005 as a complement to the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording, which had been presented as the sole award for dance music since 1998.[1]

According to The Recording Academy, the award "recognizes excellence in recordings from established dance and electronic genres such as house, techno, trance, dubstep, drum and bass, electronica, as well as other emerging dance and electronic genres, with production and sensibilities distinctly different from a pop approach."[2] The award is presented to "albums containing at least 50% dance/electronic recordings".[3] Compilation or remixed recording albums are not eligible for this category.

To date, Skrillex and The Chemical Brothers hold the record for most wins in this category, with three times, followed by two-time recipients Daft Punk. In addition, The Chemical Brothers hold the record for most nominations with seven. Madonna was the first female recipient of the award in 2007. Disclosure, Deadmau5 and Robyn hold the record for most nominations without a win with three each.

History

  • From 2005 to 2011 the award was known as Best Electronic/Dance Album
  • From 2012 to 2014 the award was known as Best Dance/Electronica Album[4]
  • From 2015 to 2023 the award was known as Best Dance/Electronic Music Album
  • From 2024 onwards the award is known as Best Dance/Electronic Album

Like most album categories, the lead performing artist (of greater than 50% of playing time on the album) receives a nomination. The actual Grammy is awarded to the performing artist, the producer and the engineer/mixer if they worked on more than 50% of playing time of the album. Any personnel that worked on less than 50% of playing time can apply for a Winners Certificate.

As of the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, the category sits in the newly-established Pop & Dance/Electronic genre field.[5]
