India.Arie has seven nominations. Her debut album is "Acoustic Soul."
BEVERLY HILLS, California (AP) -- Irish rockers U2 received a leading eight Grammy nominations Friday, including record, album and song of the year.
The veteran group's album "All That You Can't Leave Behind" was virtually assured multiple nominations since its first single, "Beautiful Day," won record and song of the year Grammys last year. The album was released during the 2001 qualifying period.
India.Arie earned seven nominations for her debut album "Acoustic Soul," including album, record and song of the year.
Other multiple nominees included classical conductor Pierre Boulez with six, and country singer Alison Krauss, R&B vocalist Brian McKnight and rap-rockers OutKast with five each.
T-Bone Burnett, Nelly Furtado, Train, Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler and Lucinda Williams each had four nominations.
Diversity reigned in the album of the year category, where nominees included Bob Dylan for "Love and Theft," India.Arie's rhythmic "Acoustic Soul," and the potent rap of OutKast's "Stankonia" in addition to U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind" and the bluegrass compilation soundtrack to the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
Bob Dylan is nominated in the album of the year category for "Love and Theft."
Keys' "Fallin'," U2's "Walk On" and India.Arie's "Video" compete in the record of the year against OutKast's "Ms. Jackson" and Train's "Drops of Jupiter."
U2's "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of," India.Arie's "Video," Keys' "Fallin'," Train's "Drops of Jupiter" and Furtado's "I'm Like a Bird" face off in the song of the year field, which honors the writers.
Besides Keys and India.Arie, Furtado, singer David Gray and alternative rockers Linkin Park were nominated for best new artist.
Sequins ruffled last year
Last year, the usually mainstream-minded National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences rankled family values proponents and gay activists by handing Eminem four nominations.
Adding to the controversy was the rapper's performance at the awards show with gay superstar Elton John.
He lost to Steely Dan for album of the year, but took home three other awards. Steely Dan had never won a Grammy prior to last year's event, but ended up with three by the end of the night.
Awards show is February 27
Presenters for the 44th annual Grammy Awards nominations at the Beverly Hilton included Destiny's Child, singer Stevie Nicks, Furtado and OutKast.
The award ceremony is scheduled for February 27 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Most of it was predictable - though I certainly didn't see India.Arie getting so many. Another pleasant surprise....
I second the comments on the U2 album. It didn't grab me right away, but when it finally did, I couldn't believe I'd missed it for so long.

I hadn't really heard of India.arie before this, anyone able to kind of give me an idea of her and what her "sound" is like? I'm curious, that's pretty good for a fairly unknown person to nearly do as well as U2.
