The nominees for the 37th Golden Disc Awards have been revealed!
Songs and albums that were released between November 2021 and mid-November 2022 were eligible to be nominated this year, with music excluded from nomination this year. Only albums with at least six new tracks (excluding intros, outros and instrumentals) were eligible for the album award. OSTs and project songs from TV programs were not considered.
The final winners for the Bonsang (Grand Prize) and Daesang (Grand Prize) are selected 60 percent based on sales calculated by mid-December 2022 and 40 percent based on evaluation by a panel of experts. The same evaluation criteria apply to the New Artist of the Year.
