Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas also received nominations for best Album and Records of the Year. Talk about some fierce competition…
Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” is up for Song of the Year against Taylor Swifts “You Belong With Me” and Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody.”
Taylor Swift bounced back nicely from the Kayne incident earning eight nominations. We bet Joe Jonas is really sorry now that he dumped Swift over the phone in a call that lasted “27 seconds.”

We’d like to celebrate Javier Barragan today, and not just because he’s our outstanding VP of acquisition marketing, but because he’s also been recognized for his work by Direct Marketing News and included on the exclusive list of ‘30 under 30’ of the best and brightest in the online marketing and advertising industry.
We know we’re a little biased, so we’ll let DMNews tell you why they selected Javier, only 25 years old, as one of their top ’30 under 30’ whiz-kids in the industry:
“Considering the millions of daily search engine users and rapid expansion of digital marketing, it’s certainly noticeable when the two biggest search engines highlight the same person. Javier Barrigan, the VP of acquisition marketing at Flycell, achieved that feat before his 30th birthday, appearing in whitepapers for both Google and Yahoo.”
At Flycell, Javier leads customer acquisition worldwide and within his first six months on the job, he has launched two new markets, increased new customer acquisition and lowered overall costs per acquisition.
Lindsey Weinger, VP of web experience here at Flycell, is one of Javier’s biggest fans, stating he “has had a very real and immediate positive impact on Flycell in his first 6 months, from his passion for the industry which motivates the entire team, to his ethical approach to acquisitions, and everything in between.”
DMNews is the industry leader in coverage of direct marketing and being recognized in their elite list of industry movers and shakers is a big deal! So congrats again Javier. We’re glad to have such an industry leader on our team.
Since its inception in 1973 (thank you Dick Clark!) the American Music Awards (AMAs) has been an enormously popular event for everyone within the music industry. Each year, the AMAs recognize outstanding achievement and highlight the impressive artists who have made some serious waves in the music industry.
But more importantly, they are fun to watch!
This year will be no different. With funny-man host Jimmy Kimmel, this year’s AMAs are sure to deliver a night full of exceptional talent and entertainment, as well as recognition for this year’s popular artists.
But before the official winners are announced on Sunday, Flycell’s members have some predictions of their own. Our customers definitely know what’s hot, and based on their downloads for artists and songs in each category, here are Flycell’s predictions for the 2008 American Music Awards:
Pop/Rock Music: It seems our customers can’t seem to get enough of Coldplay this year!
Country Music: Could Taylor Swift beat out country powerhouses like Reba McEntire? Our members sure think so!
Rap/Hip-Hop Music: Flycell members are experts when it comes to rap and hip-hop. We feel confident that you’ll see these names pop up a lot during the AMAs.
Soul/Rhythm & Blues Music: Will it be Rihanna or Mariah taking home awards? Looks like our members say- both!
Soundtracks: Nothing beats the classic hits of ABBA for this year’s favorite soundtrack from Flycell customers.
Latin Music: With the launch of Flycell’s new Spanish language website , featuring the latest content from Latin artists, customers have shown us who they think will dominate the Latin music category.
T-Mobile Breakthrough Artist: Flycell members choose Colbie Caillatto take home this award, which is known for paving the way to many promising careers.
Artist of the Year: We can’t say we’re surprised to see Lil Wayne picked for the biggest award of the night. Included in every top 10 download list we’ve compiled this year, Lil Wayne is definitely one of Flycell’s favorite artists. We’ll certainly be cheering him on as we watch this year.
So be sure to tune in to this year’s AMAs live on ABC this Sunday, November 23rd at 8/7 central. With killer performances by Miley Cyrus, Kanye West, Beyonce, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Pink and Taylor Swift, it’s sure to be an exciting night.
