47th Annual Grammy Nominees Announced

The 47th Annual Grammy Nominations were announced today. The addition of a category for Best Electronic/Dance Album means there are three awards for dance music. Though we wonder how the Creamfields Mixed CD by Oakenfold received a nomination as we would suspect the category is meant for artist/producer driven projects as opposed to mixed compilations of other people's music. Here are the nominees in the dance categories:

Best Dance Recording
(For solo, duo, group or collaborative performances. Vocal or Instrumental. Singles or tracks only.)

Good Luck - Basement Jaxx Featuring Lisa Kekaula
Get Yourself High - The Chemical Brothers
Slow - Kylie Minogue
