GRAMMY rules changed in 2011. The 'why' of only 3 nominations explained.

Here is the reason there are only 3 nominees for Best Musical Theater Album.

On April 6, 2011, the GRAMMY AWARDS made the following change to its rules:


“It is now expected that each Category shall have at least 40 distinct artist entries, up from 25. If a Category receives between 25–39 entries, only three recordings would receive nominations that year. Should there be fewer than 25 entries in a Category, that Category would immediately go on hiatus for the current year — no award given — and entries would be screened into the next most logical Category. If a Category receives fewer than 25 entries for three consecutive years, the Category would be discontinued, and submissions would be entered in the next most appropriate Category.”



In case anyone wants to read the entire press release, here it is.
