The superstar rapper, who burst back onto the music scene with his seventh studio album ‘Recovery’ earlier this year, has been nominated for an incredible FIVE nominations at the ‘2010 American Music Awards.’
Tied with country startlet Lady Antebellum, who’s also up for five, the pair lead the list of nominees for the prestigious music bash – which takes place at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on November 21.
Following closely behind is teen pop sensation Justin Bieber, who’s snagged four nods, while B.o.B, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Usher are all nominated for three.
Confirmed performers on the night include pop princess Katy Perry, super feisty P!nk, rock gods Bon Jovi and sexy smooth mover Usher!
