According to reports, Em has tied for the most nominations.

Rapper Eminem and country music band Lady Antebellum led nominations for the 2010 American Music Awards on Tuesday, but Lady Gaga earned just two nods despite dominating the music industry for the past year. Eminem, back on top of music charts with a best-selling album “Recovery”, and Lady Antebellum, earned five nominations each, closely followed by teen idol Justin Bieber, 16, with four. (Reuters)

Em will face off in categories such as “Favorite Male Artist” and “Favorite Album.”

Last year, Jay-Z won the rap category’s “Male Artist” and “Rap Album” of the year.

“What’s up, what’s up,” Jay said in his acceptance speech. “Well, I wanna thank New York for being a great muse and I wanna thank everybody outside of New York that got inspired by the record because it’s about inspiration, it’s about a journey. You know, I come from Marcy Projects — I wanna thank all the fans that connected with the record, peace and love. Men lie, women lie but numbers don’t! [laughs]” (American Music Awards)
