About half an hour ago this week’s Mercury Music Prize nominees were announced. As could be expected, they included a selection of some of this year’s biggest records along with a few more obscure ones that will keep everyone guessing.

At the moment William Hill have last year’s winners Arctic Monkeys and also Amy Winehouse as joint favourites to win (at 4/1), though with the Mercury's you never know who could win. Jamie T, Amy Winehouse, Dizzee Rascall and New Young Pony Club all hail from London so it looks like it could be a good night for London's music scene...

The nominees are... *opens envelope*

Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

Jamie T - Panic Prevention

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

Young Knives - Voices of Animals and Men

Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future

Bat for Lashes - Fur & Gold

Fionn Regan - The End of History

Dizzee Rascal - Maths and English

The View - Hats off to the Buskers

Maps - We Can Create

Basuiat Strings with Seb Roachford - Basquiet Strings

New Young Pony Club - Fantastic Playroom

The Mercury Music Prize winner is announced on Tuesday 4th September at Grosvenor House Hotel.
