In the 41-year history of the Best Reggae Album Grammy Award, only two non-Jamaican acts and one woman have won.

No gospel artiste has ever been nominated for that category.

DJ Nicholas looks to create history by becoming the first gospel act to make the final cut. His No Distortion is among 119 albums on the provisional list, which was released in October.
