In order to be considered for a Grammy Nomination, the label of any given artists (rarely, but at times the artists themselves) must submit any songs/albums/videos they want the Recording Academy to consider for nomination.  Any submissions must be according to the regulations of the Academy.  Any artist missing  to submit a song even if was the number 1 hit of the year, will definitely not be nominated.  Well, peabodies, we got a list of submissions for The Black Eyed Peas and others for Fergie! REMEMBER: These are not the official nominations.

“Fame: The Black Eyed Peas” will follow in the footsteps of Bluewater’s previous unauthorized biographies of Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and other pop icons, and promises to “trace the history of one of the country’s most popular bands from its humble roots all the way to its Grammy winning successes.”

Written by M. Zachary Sherman with art from Kristopher Smith, the 32-page comic arrives on shelves in February 2011.

It is also the first album in two decades by a duo or group to yield five Top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, including the No. 1 hits “Boom Boom Pow,” “I Gotta Feeling” (which is the best-selling digital song in SoundScan history), and “Imma Be,” as well as the Top 10’s “Meet Me Halfway” and “Rock That Body.” The quartet, comprised of WILL.I.AM, FERGIE, APL.DE.AP and TABOO, has logged more than 300 headline tour dates in 29 countries with more than 2.2 million tickets sold.

The Black Eyed peas just won another American Music Award as Best Pop/Rock Group winning Lady Antebellum and Train.  This is their winning speech:

A couple of minutes later, descending from four box chambers, each BEP member remained the focus on the dark stage as will.i.am sang the beginning lines of their new single, which samples the “Dirty Dancing” theme song, “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life.” While the frontman belted his semi-autotuned notes, each of the bandmates rose up and down in their flashing chamber until they reached the floor and emerged to show off futuristic neon outfits.  Check out the performance below:
