International recording artist Rihanna was also nominated for album of the year for her multi-platinum smash “A Girl Like Me.” The 18-year old grabbed nominations in 9 categories including the “Sing of the Year” for “Unfaithful” and Music Video of The year for the video to “S.O.S. (Rescue Me.)”

Krosfyah lead singer Edwin Yearwood leads the male nominees with five nominations and his band garnered another 3, including “Band of The Year.” His bandmate Khiomal Nurse scored a solo nomination for his “Welcome to De Band” and veterans Rupee and Alison Hinds both got multiple nominations.
