Award winners
The Grammy Award for Best New Artist was originally awarded to Milli Vanilli. However, on November 20, 1990, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences revoked the award[3][4][5] after producer Frank Farian admitted the duo did not sing at all on their album, Girl You Know It's True.[6] As of the 2023 ceremony, this is the only time where a Grammy has been revoked.
