Mercury Prize Betting 2006
Nominations have been announced for the 2006 Mercury Music Prize. The prize, which is currently sponsored by Nationwide, is awarded annually to the best UK album for the preceding year. Unlike the Brit Awards, which is an industry led event, the Mercury Music Prize Past is commonly regarded as a true badge of critical merit, and one that often recognises talent regardless of popular success. Past winners include Franz Ferdinand, Miss Dynamite, PJ Harvey, and M People.
The winner of the 2006 Mercury Music Prize will be announced on the 5th September at the annual awards ceremony, which will be screened on BBC television. The ones to watch if your an Online Betting fan are also the nominations for this year's prize and are as follows:
