Mp3bullet puts together a list of Nigerian artistes who have won Grammy certification.
Many people tend not to understand that there is a difference between being a Grammy winner and bagging the Grammy certification.
The winner claims a plaque, while the certificates indicate membership or part of a group on a nominated recording. For these groups of 10 to 20 members, GRAMMY tickets are made available to the group members even though they are not nominees.
