Sufjan, Franz Ferdinand, Wayne Coyne Pick Noms for Shortlist Prize

Each nominated a few favorites, chosen from all records released in the U.S. in 2006 which have not achieved gold status– aka 500,000 or more in sales. These will be pared down to a ten-album, yes, shortlist in April, from which a shorter list– consisting of precisely one winner– will be determined later in spring.

I am surprised to see some of the nominees- I expected them to sell more than 500.000.
