Reply to comment by heliosparrow in [OC] Beyoncé now holds the record for most Grammy wins by any artist by giteam
To some degree every band has a producer and sound engineer, but my honest belief is that if you look at the catalog of say Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, etc, etc, that most of the songs were written and produced with no input at all from the people who eventually perform the music as their own.
Everyone knows this but we somehow can't talk about the fact that the "musicians" who are promoted in the mass media don't make their own music, they are given tracks and assigned songs based on brand fit.
And in case anyone things I am sounding like some conspiracy theorist, look up just Dr. Luke and Max Martin and see their discography, the two single handily made all pop music from 2000 to 2020.

Grammy's are a joke. The pool of artists and albums they judge are about 0.01% of all music made each year. It's basically an award that Sony, Universal, and Warner give themselves for convincing the world for yet another year that their favourite "musicians" had anything to do with the music released in their name.
