Lil’ Wayne is having THE GREATEST YEAR OF HIS LIFE! The Cash Money rapper lead the pack of musicians-nominated with 8 nominations of his own. Coming in second is Coldplay with 7 noms, followed by Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Ne-Yo each earning 6.
Also impressive were nominations scored by Adele (who received nods for Best New Artist, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year – for “Chasing Pavements”) and Rihanna for Best Dance Recording (for “Disturbia”), Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals (for her collaboration with Maroon 5 “If I Never See You Again”) and Best Long-Form Music Video.
Jason Mraz got a surprising nod for “I’m Yours” in the Song of the Year category, alongside Pink for “So What” who was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Favorites of mine Kings of Leon, M.I.A. and Lady Gaga were also nominated.
