U2 tipped for Grammy success

U2 and piano songstress Alicia Keys are among the favourites to claim US Grammy nominations in a competition shaping up as far less inflammatory than last year’s event.

U2’s Beautiful Day won record and song of the year honours as a single at last year’s Grammy awards. This year the song is part of the album All That You Can’t Leave Behind, making the latter a contender for album of the year.
