BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - For more than a dozen artists, nominations for the American Music Awards came in twos and threes.
Mariah Carey, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Black Eyed Peas and Nickelback each captured three nominations, while Mary J.
Blige, Eminem, Kanye West, Jamie Foxx, T.I., Rascal Flatts, Pussycat Dolls, Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood earned a pair of nods each.
Nominees in pop/rock, country, soul/rhythm blues, rap/hip-hop, Latin, alternative, contemporary inspirational and adult contemporary categories were announced at a news conference Tuesday.
This year, the favorite female rap/hip-hop artist category was eliminated because fewer than five artists met the minimum eligibility requirements.
The 2006 American Music Awards will be presented Nov.
21 at the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium during a three-hour ABC-TV special.
Nominees were chosen based on record sales. Winners will be selected by a survey of about 20,000 listeners.
