The nominations for the 2009 American Music Awards were announced today, and country/pop superstar Taylor Swift earned a leading 6 nominations, including Artist of the Year and Favorite Pop/Rock Artist, just to name a few.
With five nominations, the late King of Pop Michael Jackson is not far behind, receiving nominations for Artist of the Year and Favorite Male Artist Pop/Rock.
Other artists with multiple nominations this year include Eminem (4), Kings of Leon (3), and Lady Gaga (3).
Britney Spears, on other hand, was shut out completely. The past AMA winner was no where to be found when the nominations were announced.
This baffles me somewhat. How does Eminem get FOUR nominations this year, after releasing a sub par album with no hit singles, while Britney, who's multi-platinum #1 album Cirucs spawned 4 top 40 hits?
It makes no sense.
