The Head of Public Events and Communication of Charterhouse and a member of the board of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards scheme, Robert Klah, says the group of the year category was scrapped due to lack of competitiveness.
In an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, he said they didn’t even have enough groups for the category and also lacked competition among the existing groups.
“Group of the Year for this particular year, we've seen it to be not competitive. We do not have enough groups this year.”
The VGMAs has seen music groups such as Keche (2021), DopeNation (2020), Bethel Revival Choir (2019), Wutah (2018), VVIP (2017) and more win that category.
He added that the board decided to rest the category this year, with hope of having challenging groups in the following years.
“So for this particular year we are resting it and in subsequent years if we have enough coming we will bring it back”
Meanwhile, Robert Klah revealed that the award scheme monitors the streaming of each artiste and has a particular software that facilitates the tracking, Radio Monitor.
Robert added that they conduct their survey by speaking to people on the streets, radio personalities, frontline personalities and DJs to aid in the collation of data.
