U2 gets 3 Nominations

As posted earlier U2 has been nominated for 3 Grammys for No Line on the Horizon. The boys have won a total of 22 Grammys and they are tied currently with Stevie Wonder as the only artists to win as many. The categories may not be the top ones, album of  the year, song of the year and record of the year. However they are nominated, we can officaly call this album the “Sleeper of the Year” ( U.S football fans know thats a good thing). You can read all the nominations at Grammy.com.
