Lady Gaga and Eminem Top MTV VMA Nominations

2010 has been the year of Lady Gaga so it's no surprise that she received an astounding 13 nominations for the 2010 MTV VMA Awards. With that count, Gaga makes MTV history, earning the most nominations ever by an artist in a single year. She is also the first female artist to be nominated for two different videos in the Video of the Year category in the same year ("Bad Romance" and "Telephone" featuring Beyoncй.)

Following behind Lady Gaga is Eminem, who received 8 nominations. Eminem has also had a stellar year, his latest album Recovery has stayed atop the US charts since its release on June 21st, quickly becoming one of the biggest records of the year. "Not Afraid" is nominated in 5 different categories including the coveted "Video of the Year" category. It was also nominated for Best Hip Hop Video, alongside "Forever," his collaboration with Drake and Kanye West.

New-comer Florence + The Machine received a nomination for Video of the Year for "Dog Days Are Over" along with 3 other well-deserved including Best Rock Video. Universal Motown artists Kid Cudi and Drake will battle it out for Best Hip Hop Video. Label mate Nicki Minaj will also take on her competition in the Best New Artist category. Other recognized videos included Rihanna's "Rude Boy", Taylor Swift's "Fifteen", Dan Black's "Symphonies", and the smash summer hit Enrique Iglesias' "I Like It".

Congratulations to all in the UMG family who helped contribute to a total of 47 nominations
