Album of the Year

The album of the year award goes to the artist, the producer, the recording engineer and the mastering engineer for their creative contributions to the overall project.

This award is presented to the album that contains at least 51% playing time of new recordings.

Single of the Year

“I See You” by Luke Bryan
“Burning House” by Cam
“Die a Happy Man” by Thomas Rhett
“Nobody to Blame” by Chris Stapleton

Song of the Year

The Song of the Year award goes to the person who wrote the song, not the person who recorded it. In other words, if Taylor Swift had released “Girl Crush” as her own single, she would have been eligible for this award. So congrats to Little Big Town, who took home the big prize!

Musical Event of the Year

The Winners of the 2015 Country Music Awards were announced on Sunday, November 1st. The Musical Event of the Year was awarded to Eric Church and Keith Urban for their duet “Raise ‘Em Up”. Church and Urban beat out some tough competition including Blake Shelton and Ashley Monroe, Florida Georgia Line and Zac Brown Band, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert.
