\o/ Tiësto nominated for Grammy Award with Elements of Life \o/

hehehe

On December 6th, Tiësto’s album ‘Elements of Life’ was nominated for one of the most prestigious awards in recorded music, a GRAMMY in the Best Electronic/Dance Album category. ‘Elements of Life’ released by Black Hole Recordings, continues its success, having sold over 72,000 albums in the US to date and reaching golden and platinum status in numerous other countries globally. The other nominees in the category of Best Electronic/Dance Album are Justice, Shiny Toy Guns, LCD Soundsystem and The Chemical Brothers.

To support his album Tiësto has been touring with his Elements of Life world tour, selling out venues in the US such as the LA Sports Arena with an attendance of 15,000 people and the prestigious Hammerstein Ballroom in New York two nights in a row. The tour lands in almost all continents from North-to-South America, Europe, South Africa and Asia, reaching hundreds of thousands of people with each single event on the globe being sold out in advance.

“It has always been a dream for me to be nominated for a Grammy. I have been working on this album for over a year and therefore am very happy with the nomination.” says Tiësto, “It’s a recognition for all the hard work!”

Nominees are selected through a voting process with members and record companies submitting entries. Submissions are then screened for eligibility and category placement by 150 experts in various fields, to ensure that entered recordings meet specific qualifications. The Academy's voting members, all involved in the creative and technical processes of recording, then participate in (1) the nominating process that determines the five finalists in each category; and (2) the final voting process which determines the GRAMMY winners.

This is the 50th Anniversary year for the Grammy organization, and the GRAMMY Award show will take place on February 10, 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. USA.

whats funny is that if he does do a live performance, there will be 3 cdjs, a djm 800, and those really expensive monitors that hes using just so that he can play a track

I think this is good on him

PVD's been nominated quite a few times, as far as I know this is his first nomination. (edit: duh, says that in the article)

Woo!

LOL @ Justin... so true.

I went to that show in Los Angeles in August, it was friggin amazing.

If you really like trance, you were in heaven, just look up the track list from the night.

His EOL shows got amazing reviews from fans, its a shame Toronto wasnt on the schedule.

Hardly.

I'd be impressed if it made the very fast quick read "here are the other awards given out non-televised" *cue excessively fast colling credits*

Tap tap tap, give yourself a nice pat on the back there Tijs.

there were so many better albums than Elements of Life.

Even PvD's album was better.

Not that Grammy's really matter

That entire album was incredible...my fav artist album of the year.

Boring album, lame production - overall, pretty much what I'd expect from the grammies.
