Song of the year is specifically a songwriting award, rather than Record of the Year, which refers to an actual specific recorded version.

Song of the Year is purely a writers' award. Record is for the overall recording itself, so it's more appropriate for inclusion here. Also, although the two categories almost never match up nominee-for-nominee, there's enough overlap to make it redundant to include both of them.

SOTY also related to quality of the song so I don't understand the exclusion

There is a difference between a song as music and lyrics on a page and a recording of that song. If that wasn't the case, there would not be multiple versions of the same song (e.g., "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," "All Along the Watchtower") on AM.

I'm really rooting for "Don't Start Now" to win RotY.

Also, what's the deal with this Black Pumas group? I've never listened to them, so I don't know if they're any good, but I haven't seen them on the EoY lists, and they haven't been that commercially successful, at least compared to the typical major Grammy Award nominee.

They were also nominated for Best New Artist last year. The Recording Academy really seems to like them.

They’re great! They don’t have a lot of releases material but their one album is a nice gem.

I just got finished listening to "Colors". Pretty good! While I would've rather seen The Weeknd get some nods, props to the Academy for nominating something a bit more under-the-radar. I might check out their debut sooner or later.

Both nominees and winners are counted every year.

Quick note that, thanks to the pandemic surge, the Grammy ceremony has been postponed from January 31 to March 14.
