Diversity rules the MTV Europe Music Awards 2002 nominations, as a rapper, two Latin artists, a dance act, an alternative Britpop band, and a sassy pink-haired popster lead the pack with four nominations each.

The nomination leaders for the awards -- set for Nov. 14 at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain -- are Eminem, Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Kylie Minogue, Coldplay, and Pink. Hot on their heels with three nominations are U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Nelly. Logging in with a pair of nominations each include No Doubt, Linkin Park, Nickelback, Jennifer Lopez, Korn, Lenny Kravitz, and Roeyksopp.

Up for one of the most coveted awards of the night, Album of the Year, are Coldplay (A Rush of Blood to the Head), Eminem (The Eminem Show), Kylie Minogue (Fever), No Doubt (Rock Steady), and Pink (Missundaztood).

As previously reported, Robbie Williams will perform at the show (allstar, Sept. 20), along with the newly announced Coldplay, Pink, Iglesias, and Wyclef Jean. Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, meanwhile, will serve as one of the presenters.
