They might be young, but FUN are all over this year's Grammy awards, with nominations in the top three categories: Best Album, Best Record and Song of the Year, as well as Best New Artist.

Five other acts scored big in the nomination stakes, with Frank Ocean, Mumford & Sons, Jay-Z, Kanye West and Dan Auerbach, of the Black Keys, bringing in six nominations each.

In the performance stakes, Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson and Wiz Khalifa are all up for Grammy honours, as well as Kimbra, for her Gotye collaboration, Somebody that I Used to Know.

And Bra Hugh Masekela has done Mzansi proud once more, with a nomination for Jabulani in the Best World Music Album category (although if you ask us, it should be in there with the Album of the Year! ), but he's got some serious competition this year from Amadou & Mariam.

The Grammy Awards ceremony will take place in February next year.
