Mary J. Blige started the week by picking up a whopping nine Billboard Awards.

She's ending it with eight Grammy nominations, topping a star-studded field that includes James Blunt, Dixie Chicks, Gnarls Barkley, Justin Timberlake, Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Mayer, and UK upstart Corinne Bailey Rae all vying for the top awards of the year.

Although not nominated for album of the year, Blige grabbed nods for record of the year, song of the year, and best pop collaboration with vocals for her duet with U2 on a cover of their song, "One."

The Chili Peppers scored the second-most nominations with six, including album of the year for Stadium Arcadium, for which they'll be competing against Dixie Chicks, Gnarls Barkley, John Mayer, and Justin Timberlake.

James Blunt, Dixie Chicks, John Mayer, Danger Mouse, Prince, Rick Rubin, Will.i.am, and composer John Williams landed five apiece.
