Including random genres most people haven't really heard of doesn't really say much. Most people don't listen to dance music, yet they chose the pop albums of dance music for the category. I imagine that somewhere on the internet there is a discussion just like this for a "Zydeco or Cajun Music Album." It really wouldn't surprise me if the nominees chosen for that category were considered by Cajun fans to be the pop equivalent of that genre.

They should have a best experimental post-glitch album artwork category.

There's an important distinction to be made between pop and populist, although neither preclude the Grammy nominations from being shit.

It was a very good album indeed, though it seems strange in this category.
