With an impressive 10 nominations, including best new artist, Kanye West is leader of the pack for the 47th annual Grammy Awards.

Other multiple nominees include Alicia Keys and Usher, who are tied with eight, the late Ray Charles with seven, and Prince.

The album of the year prize will be decided between West's The College Dropout, Charles' Genius Loves Company, Usher's Confessions, Keys' The Diary of Alicia Keys and Green Day's American Idiot.

The College Dropout is also up for best rap album, while West's single "Jesus Walks" has been nominated for the song of the year honor. West, Keys and Harold Lilly share a best R&B song nomination for the Keys-recorded "You Don't Know My Name." West will also compete against himself in the best rap/sung collaboration with his duet with Syleena Johnson, "All Falls Down," and as a guest on Twista's "Slow Jamz," which also features actor/singer Jamie Foxx.

The Grammy ceremony will take place February 13 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and will be broadcast live on CBS at 8 p.m. ET (tape delayed on the West Coast).
