Whether a fan or not, there was little escape from Alicia Keys‘ “No One” this year.� Appropriately so, the singer/songwriter/actress leads the list of nominees for the 2008 American Music Awards with 5 nominations alongside Coldplay, who snagged 4.

Keys strikes nods for artist of the year, favorite female artist– pop or rock music, favorite female artist– soul/rhythm & blues, and favorite album for each for her multi-platinum-selling As I Am.

Coldplay ranks among those up for artist of the year, favorite band, duo, or group– pop or rock music, favorite artist– alternative rock music, and favorite album (for Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends).

Other artists who were nominated today were The Eagles (who also scored 4 nods for artist of the year, favorite band, duo, or group– pop or rock music, favorite artist– adult contemporary music, and favorite album– pop or rock), Lil’ Wayne, Chris Brown, Mary J. Blige, Garth Brooks, Mariah Carey, Daughtry, Flo Rida (really?), Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, Usher, and Kanye West.

Airing on ABC, check for the 2008 AMA’s November 28th live from LA’s the Nokia Theatre, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
