Hot on their heels are Nigeria's Dare and 2Face, alongside South Africans Freshlyground and Simphiwe Dana, with three nominations each. Channel O general mManager Yolisa Phahle is certain that the nominations reflect the diverse and growing music industry in the continent. "We are seeing videos of increasingly high quality and this is a direct reflection of the industry's growth", she says.

This year some of the newer names are also producing outstanding music and high quality videos". A total of 70 artists from 10 different countries have produced this year's nominees in the 18 categories. Now in its third year, the videos are voted for by viewers, giving fans complete control over who receives an award.
