Lil Wayne leads Grammy nominations with 8

Coldplay, Radiohead also among nominees announced in prime-time specialLOS ANGELES - Lil Wayne didn’t get a Grammy nomination for “A Milli,” but his total haul was still pretty amazing — eight.

Nominations for the prolific and ubiquitous rap MVP, who became pop’s biggest success in 2008 with his top-selling album, “Tha Carter III,” included a coveted album of the year bid.

Although the New Orleans rapper — who has been nominated for Grammys before but has never taken home a trophy — was the leading nominee, he wasn’t the only big act to have a big night Wednesday.
