Pop superstars Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga proved who really ruled the music scene this past year as the nominees for the 2010 Grammys were announced last night.
Beyonce scored an astonishing ten nominations, including the Big Three (Record, Album, and Song of the Year). Also nominated in that category are Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, who landed eight and five nominations respectively.
There was a minor controversy regarding Gaga's lack of a nomination in the Best New Artist category. Her nomination in the Best Dance Recording category last year for "Just Dance" prohibited her from getting nominated as a new artist.
Maxwell, Black Eyed Peas, and Kanye West garnered six nominations, while David Guetta and Jay-Z bagged four.
One of the most noticeable snubs this year was of Canadian rapper Drake. Despite his immense popularity, he only scored two nominations, for Best Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Song. "Day 'N' Nite" rapper Kid Cudi received three nominations.
Despite having a major comeback record in "All I Ever Wanted", Kelly Clarkson received only one nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album, alongside Pink, who is also nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal for "Sober".
