The nominees for the Swedish Grammys 2012 have been announced with Veronica Maggio 'leading the pack' with nominations in seven categories.
Lykke Li is the next most popular act, claiming five nods. 'Collide' hitmaker Avicii is nominated for four awards while Swedish House Mafia and Rebecca & Fiona have three and two respectively; all three compete for Best Dance/Electro.
The awards this year have undergone a revamp with the Best Male and Best Female categories being merged into the altogether more PC Artist of the Year, while the aforementioned Best Electro/Dance will be contested for the first time as will Best Hip-Hop/Soul.
The Song of the Year category is the most hotly contested with the following ten of Sweden's biggest hits nominated.
Avicii — Levels
The Swedish Bear Population — Vart Jag Mig I Världen Vänder

Eric Saade — Popular
