^ you know I could be wrong about that, but I thought you could only win once per album. Otherwise, Carrie's Some Hearts would have won twice too. lol I do agree it is based on sales, but I think each album can only win once. anyway, AMA just tweeted confirming the nom's come out tomorrow. abc.go.com/shows/american-music-awards

I'm just now realizing that the AMAs don't have 'song' categories lol. I'm looking forward for the performances anyway. Don't they usually have around 17-20?

I thought these were based on sales...how did Teenage Dream get an Album nomination?
Bieber might upset big time. I'm hoping GaGa & Eminem clean up though

Actually most of the nominations seem pretty accurate with the sales, chart success, and hype of 2010. I think this is a good list and I can't wait for the performances!
There are a few things I am confused about though...
Why was Susan Boyle snubbed when she had one of the biggest selling albums last year? Odd.
What I don't get, is how Lady Antebellum got breakthrough artist when they have 2 albums out and were nominated last year too, right? How are they new? lol Also, how is Lady A suddenly rock and pop for those pop categories, when they are also nominated for Country album? confused.
Also, I like Katy Perry alot, but how did she get Pop Album when her album sales are not strong? I think maybe her digital downloads are so so strong that it carried her over into the categories. Either way, she had a big year so I am happy for her, but it is just confusing as I thought this was based mostly on sales.
Maybe they are factoring digital singles sales too, not just album sales?
Also how did Jason Aldean get a country album nomination over Zac Brown Band when ZBB outsold Jason, I thought? confused. I like Jason and I am happy for him, but it is an odd choice for Album.

Country artists in Pop/Rock categories is not a new thing. Years ago, Faith Hill won the award for Pop/Rock Female. I think Shania did too. For Breakthrough, I really don't know why they'd be nominated. Overall I think these nominees are kind of sucky. I hope they have some good performers for the show.

^ thanx. I just read an interesting article from Hits Daily Double that said they looked at a different chart this year to determine the nominees. They did not use billboard like they usually do, but some other chart. Here is the article blurb: www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/salescht.cgiQuote: For the first time, the nominees were selected from BigChampagne's Ultimate Chart rather than Billboard, ranking the most popular artists and songs based on a weighted combination of music sales, radio and TV broadcast, Internet streaming and video viewing, with additional online metrics, including social media activity.
