More Jacko, and the late king of pop is on the shortlist for Artist Of The Year at this year’s American Music Awards. He is up against a bunch of living popsters for the prize, including Taylor Swift, Eminem, Kings Of Leon and Lady Gaga.

Jackson is actually up for five prizes in the public-voted music awards. Swift is ahead with six noms, while Eminem is on four shortlists. Voting takes place online ahead of the big awards show in LA on 22 Nov.

Nominations are compiled based on both sales and radio play, hence the Jackson noms, he getting muchos sales and a whole load of radio play in the weeks following his sudden death earlier this year.
