(Irish Independent) -- IRISH rockers U2 could be in position to sweep the Grammy awards on Wednesday with a leading eight nominations.
However, this year no group is considered a clear favourite.
"There's not an obviously clear-cut winner," said Rick Krim, executive vice president of talent and programming at VH1. "I'm kind of hoping it gets spread around, because there are so many deserving nominees this year."
Some recent ceremonies have been coronations for the year's most successful artist: Santana received a record-tying eight Grammys in 2000 for his multiplatinum comeback, 'Supernatural'; Lauryn Hill took home five the year before that with her solo debut, 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.'
This year's ceremony in Los Angeles, on the other hand, may more closely follow last year, when the honours were spread around. Faith Hill, Eminem and U2 were the leaders with three awards each.
