Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album
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 an complement to the Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Recording, which had been presented as the sole award for dance music since 1998. 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." The award is presented to "albums containing at least 51% playing time of new vocal or instrumental electronica/dance recordings". Compilation or remixed recording albums are not eligible for this category. To date, Skrillex and The Chemical Brothers hold the record more 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 six. 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
