The country star is also up for Favorite Female Artist, Country, and Favorite Artist, Adult Contemporary, while her album Breathe is nominated for Favorite Album, Country. We're proud to see Faith nominated in some categories [outside country]," said SheDaisy singer Kristyn Osborn, who helped announced the nominees Monday (November 13).

Kristyn was joined by her sister bandmates, Kelsi and Kassidy Osborn, and Dick Clark for the announcements at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Anthony and Creed received three nods each. Creed are up for Favorite Band, Duo or Group, Pop or Rock, and Favorite Artist, Alternative. The Florida rock band's Human Clay (1999) will compete against *NSync's No Strings Attached (2000) and Spears' Oops! ... I Did It Again (2000) for Favorite Album, Pop or Rock.
