Harvey Mason Jr. CEO Of The Recoding Academy says there was never a threat to discontinue the Best Reggae Album Category at the Grammys and there has been over 700 submissions over the last 5 years. Over the years there has been reports from Grammy voting members that the reggae category has been under threat of being removed from the awards and that it makes no sense to even consider a dancehall category. I asked him about the truth of those assertions and Harvey says that is far from the truth and indeed reggae has had many good submission over the years.
