The Grammy for Best New Artist has been awarded since 1960. Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were handed out, for records released in the previous year. Supposedly, winning the "Best New Artist" award is considered by many to be a curse, as several award winners never have been able to duplicate the success they received in their debut year. Though many have not, a few artists who have won the award have remained successful, including The Beatles, Mariah Carey, Sheryl Crow, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Norah Jones, LeAnn Rimes, Tom Jones, Cyndi Lauper, and Toni Braxton. From 1997-2003, solo female artists won this award seven years in a row.

The category is also notable for being the only category in which a Grammy Award was revoked. This occurred in 1990 after it was revealed winners Milli Vanilli did not do their own vocals on their debut album. The award was revoked, but was not handed out to another artist. In addition, LeAnn Rimes was the first Country Artist to win this award.
