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.

Posted on their website last week via a handwritten note by frontman Chris Martin, Coldplay announced plans to release an EP of unreleased material from Viva La Vida, called Prospekt’s March. The 8-track collection comes with a remix to “Lost” called “Lost +” and features a “guest experience in the form of Jay-Z” (such an ill way of saying “featuring”, no?). The anxiously-awaited release will make its debut November 25th. I’m such a Coldplay fan, so this is definitely something for me to get excited over.
The track listing via Capitol records:
1. “Life in Technicolor ii”
2. “Postcards From Far Away”
3. “Glass of Water”
4. “Rainy Day”
5. ”Prospekt’s March/ Poppyfields”
6. “Lost +” (Jay-Z remix)
7. ”Lovers in Japan” (Osaka Sun mix)
8. “Now My Feet Won’t Touch the Ground”

In Coldplay’s new video Viva La Vida, Chris Martin dresses up like the Burger King. Is he trying to tell us something? May be he is thinking about a Whopper the whole time, although they are pretty gross! Listen to it and tell me what you think…
This song is a cover…who covers their own cover?

The marketing force behind Nas‘ self-(or Untitled)-album may have been lukewarm (and a bit misguided I might add), but it didn’t stop the rap pioneer & Queens NY native from topping this past week’s Billboard charts, knocking Lil’ Wayne’s The Carter III from atop its reigning spot. The Def Jam signee tops the charts with 186,000 units sold, while Weezy still brings in devastating numbers at 105,500.
The soundtrack to that damn movie with some singing old lady Mamma Mia!i slipped onto the charts at number 3 with 91,400 units moved, barely topping Coldplay’s Viva La Vida at #4 with 90,300 more sales.
Check out more of last week’s big sellers here. And yes, Rihanna is still making a whole helluva lot more paper than you and I combined with her expanded Good Girl Gone Bad selling yet another 41,300 copies (which has been on the charts since its release last Spring!)

Katy Perry may have a song about experimenting with girls, but this may just mark her first foray into threesomes. “I Kissed a Girl” is looking at its third week atop Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles chart, proving not-only is it one of the strongest records of the summer, but with the close company of Rihanna (with “Take a Bow” sitting pretty [pun intended] at #2) and Leona Lewis, females are dominating the pop world.
Lil’ Wayne’s “Lollipop” has slid from 2-3.
Rising up the charts this week are Coldplay with “Viva La Vida” (moving from 6-5), Chris Brown with “Forever” (moving from 8-6), and Miley Cyrus‘ “7 Things” (ascending 16-10).
