Adele, Kanye West, Foo Fighters and Bruno Mars lead the nominations for the 2012 Grammys. Kanye leads the pack with a whopping 7 nominations.

Accompanying the sultry soul singer is Bruno Mars who is also nominated in the Best Song and Record categories for "Grenade" and his album "Doo-Wops and Hooligans."
Foo Fighters, "seen by many as the last popular gasp for rock music" also got 6 nominations, although only one in the top categories (Album of the Year).
Among the nominees, Lil Wayne and Skrillex each got five nods in the lesser categories. Among his 7 nominations, Kanye is only nominated for one of the top slots in Song of the Year for "All of the Lights".
