Country music and Hip-Hop/Rap seem to be the strong genres for the 2011 Grammy Awards as artists like Lady Antebellum and Eminem are leading the top categories of the competition.
Unlike last, year when pop/rock was the main link between the nominees -
eg. Adele, Coldplay and Jason Mraz- this year RnB and Country seem to be most popular genre in the 2011 Grammy Awards.
This year the american sensation Lady Antebellum, which blends contemporary country and pop, has been the most nominated act, including , record, album and song of the year with 'Need you now', who has topped the american charts since its release in 2010.
Along with them, the american rapper Eminem -featuring Rihanna in most of his nominated songs- has been nominated in at least 5 categories, including record, song and album of the year.
The contentious Lady Gaga and Kate Perry also leads the nominations with Album of the Year and Best Female Pop Performance.
The Arcade Fire, Muse and Kings of Leon are the top acts in the Alternative/Rock categories, the three of them with the chance of taking home a Grammy.
For New Breakthrough category, which Adele won the previous year, Justin Bieber, Florence and the Machine and Mumford and Sons seem to be the most likely acts to get the award.
Country singer, Miranda Lambert, has also been nominated for top categories thanks to the album Revolution and the single 'The house that built me".
