It has been quite a ride for Urban this year.  Two CMA Awards, including Entertainer Of The Year, two ACM Awards including Album Of The Year, his first U.S. arena tour, as well as sold-out performances in Australia, Canada, Germany and England. 

In addition, he has celebrated the double-platinum certification of his latest album Be Here, 3 #1 singles, 3 #1 videos and the triple-platinum certification of his 2002 breakthrough album, Golden Road.

"I have been completely overwhelmed by what we have accomplished during this past year," said Keith Urban. 

"And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, here's something else to put under my tree. Artists of all genres, from everywhere around the world, dream of Grammy recognition and I am truly humbled by this nomination."
