Written by: Kristin Hunt
Rapper Lil Wayne gets the most nods, followed closely by rockers Coldplay.
The Grammy nominations were announced last night after an hour-long CBS concert special, with Lil Wayne leading the pack with eight nods.
Coldplay was a close second, scoring seven nominations for Viva La Vida, one of the year’s best-selling albums. Jay-Z, Ne-Yo and Kanye West followed with six nods, while Alison Krauss, Robert Plant, John Mayer, Radiohead and Jazmine Sullivan claimed five a piece.
Viva La Vida will go up against Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III, Radiohead’s In Rainbows, Ne-Yo’s Year of the Gentleman and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’s Raising Sand for album of the year. Adele, Duffy, the Jonas Brothers, Lady Antebellum and Sullivan will compete for best new artist. Previously proclaimed frontrunners Leona Lewis and Katy Perry were shut out of the category, though they received other nominations.
The 51st Grammy Awards will air on CBS on February 8.
