Harvey Mason, Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, has been elected to the Paley Los Angeles Board of Governors and discussed the expansion of Grammy voting membership and the introduction of the Asian Pop category. The recent changes have sparked debate, notably prompting BTS to announce they will not submit music for the 2027 Grammys. Meanwhile, U.S. music publishing revenues reached $7.3 billion in 2025, as highlighted during an NMPA event honoring Mason and other industry figures.
