Yet, browsing through RoxService, there’s mention to Marie having won the Swedish Grammy Award for female Swedish artist of the year 1986 with “Den Sjunde Vågen”... (?)
Anyone who can confirm this?... Or anyone who knows where I may be able to find (more) info regarding this subject (Swedish Grammy Awards and nominations for Per & Marie throughout the years)?...
Thank you so much for your help! :)

There were no Grammy awards given out during that period. The Swedish Grammy has always been a shitty prize, given out by fools to artists not deserving a prize, so the awards were canceled. They restarted it ’87, and it went hip for a while. Now the prize is back to being just about nothing again. No glory in this.

But Marie wasn’t nominated to any grammis in 1996? Although Gyllene Tider was, and also recieved two of them for best artist and best song.
So... someone made a misstake somewhere... dunno who, and dunno where that wrong info came from... but it IS wrong anyway...

@ Starrox & tevensso: thank you!
GTiG: “So... someone made a misstake somewhere... dunno who, and dunno where that wrong info came from... but it IS wrong anyway...” Wrong info? You’re referring to?...
Also, I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to please translate the following quotes (from the jury?) from the Grammis site pointed by Starrox?...

http://www.ifpi.se/pages/grammis/grammis.html has a list with all winners, but the years 1973 - 1986 are missing (I couldn’t find out the reason, so maybe someone here can tell me why?), so it’s not exactly helpful in this case...
