The Billboard Music Awards air on November 19, and the eligibility window was November 19, 2022 to October 21, 2023.
The CMA Awards aired on November 8, and the eligibility window was July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023.
The People's Choice Country Awards aired on September 28, and the eligibility window was August 12, 2022 to August 11, 2023. They nominated Ingrid Andress for The New Artist of 2023, she had been nominated at the ACM and CMA and Grammy Awards of 2021.
The ACM Awards aired on May 11, and the eligibility window was November 16, 2021 to December 31, 2022, plus Album of the Year nominees could have come out in the two years before that if they reach a new peak on the charts and have not been a finalist before.
The CMT Music Awards aired April 2 and they don't seem to advertise what their eligibility window is. They're done entirely by fan vote, and all nominees have to have appeared on CMT during the timeframe, whatever it is.
The Grammy Awards aired February 5 and the eligibility window was October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. The eligibility period for next year's Grammys ended September 15, 2023.
It looks like the problem is that it takes 4 months for the nominations window to close and for multiple rounds of votes to be counted, and before you know it, you're celebrating music that's potentially from a year and a half ago, which is forever in today's culture.
PLEASE - no apologies needed, you all do you and be well. As an aside can I just say that Janie and her mates doing the work on those lines is great to see - fair play.
Alert: holy fartballs, right at the start of the video you get to see deceased sex pest Jimmy Saville in action - in retrospect it’s so eerie with hindsight viewing this quick interaction.

I forgive you!
