Amy Winehouse, Kanye West Receive Grammy Nominations (Update1)
By Don Jeffrey
Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Rapper Kanye West won the most nominations for the Grammy Awards, with eight, including best album of the year for ``Graduation.''
Amy Winehouse, who got six nominations, the Foo Fighters, Vince Gill and Herbie Hancock were also nominated for best album at the 50th annual awards, the Recording Academy said today. The awards will be given out on Feb. 10 in Los Angeles.
``Rehab,'' performed by Winehouse, and ``The Pretender'' by the Foo Fighters were nominated for best record, along with Beyonce's ``Irreplaceable,'' Justin Timberlake's ``What Goes Around ... Comes Around'' and ``Umbrella,'' by Rihanna featuring Jay-Z.
A Grammy award can help sales for individual artists as the industry faces declining revenue. Album sales have fallen 14 percent this year through Nov. 25 in the U.S., driven by a 19 percent slump for compact discs, according to researcher Nielsen SoundScan.
