Eminem- Leads Grammy Nominations

The 38-year-old rapper was followed by Bruno Mars with seven nods, while Lady Gaga, Jay-Z and country group Lady Antebellum all netted six nominations.

UK acts including Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons and Susan Boyle were recognised.

Prizes in 109 musical categories will be handed out at a ceremony in Los Angeles on 13 February.
The nominations cap a solid comeback for Eminem - real name Marshall Mathers III - who spent the past few years struggling with drug problems.

He returned with the album Relapse in 2009, before releasing the follow-up Recovery this year.

On top of his nods for album and record of the year, he is also shortlisted for song of the year for Love The Way You Lie, his collaboration with Rihanna.

The coveted album of the year sees him up against Arcade Fire, country-pop band Lady Antebellum, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.

Hawaiian-born singer Bruno Mars, who performed twice during the nominations announcement concert, notched up seven nominations.
