About this record

Best Banda or Norteño Album was first awarded in 2012, so it does not run the full 1959–2025 window.

It was awarded for the last time in 2012.

Like the merged Latin pop award beside it, this one lasted a single ceremony before the Academy reorganised the regional Mexican categories again.

From 2013 the Grammys awarded Best Música Mexicana Album (including Tejano) instead.

It took over from Best Banda Album and Best Norteño Album.
