Is Arcade Fire the 1st AOTY winner to not win any other category? I can't wait to see sales spike for The Suburbs :) Can anyone answer this? Fleetwood Mac only won AOTY. I think it was in 1979/80 or something. But, that was when they didnt have genre album categories.

Arcade Fire promoted themselves zero for the award. Em was doing iced tea commercials last week for Christ sake. Eminem had a nice year, however, without Rihanna to the rescue, he wouldn't have even been performing tonight. Gaga has plenty of time to w in album of the year. The Suburbs is actually a great album covering all genres from beginning to end. Many will complain about no hits on the album, well, that's because they have zero promotion. Uh, the commercials have nothing to do with music. And the voting was done weeks/months after the commercial. Also, the album sold well over 1 million units (more than almost any artist in 2010) before the Rihanna song even made an impact. Lie pracrically got NA a second wave on radio. Ems sales are huge at first week of course hed sell a million quickly. Lie kept the album selling
