They ruled the American Music Awards with three wins, but don’t look for the Black Eyed Peas to score another trifecta when Grammy nominations are announced next month.

The band’s most recent record, 2005′s “Monkey Business,” was named favorite rap/hip-hop album Tuesday, but it isn’t eligible for consideration for the Grammy awards in February.

Still, the hybrid hip-hop quartet, which blends rap and vocals with jazzy backdrops and groovy bass lines, is clearly one of America’s favorites, winning best group in both the rap/hip hop and soul/rhythm & blues categories. – Associated Press
