The American Idiot cast album has been nominated for "Best Musical Show Album". Other nominees include "Sondheim on Sondheim", "Fela!", and "Promises, Promises".
The Recording Academy's Best Musical Show Album is awarded to the Album Producer(s), and to the Lyricist(s) & Composer(s) of 51% or more of a new score. Last night the nominees were announced and we're happy to share that Green Day as the composers and Billie Joe Armstrong as lyricist have been nominated for the Original Broadway Cast Recording: American Idiot (Featuring Green Day)! This is the 19th nomination Green Day has received from the Recording Academy since 1995!
If Green Day wins the award, technicly speaking this would not be the first Grammy that the band has received for the songs in the musical. 'American Idiot' won a Grammy in 2005 for "Best Rock Album" and '21st Century Breakdown' won a Grammy in 2010 for "Best Rock Album".
Tune in to the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards on CBS on Sunday, February 13th at 8PM ET/PT to see if Green Day will take home their 5th Grammy award
