WE THINK THIS USED TO BE THE DOTMUSIC AWARDS: We'venot heard of the DMA awards before, or maybe we have, and they seem to be convinced they've happened before, so we're guessing - since they're sponsored by BT Rich Media - that in the past they might have been the DotMusic awards and BT never bothered to flog them to Yahoo with the rest of the set up.

These are the nominees:

Best Pop Artist

* Brian McFadden
* Girls Aloud
* Kylie Minogue
* Natasha Bedingfield
* Peter Andre

Best Rock/Indie Artist (sponsored by NME)

* Paul Weller
* Supergrass
* The Concretes
* The Futureheads
* The Zutons

Best Dance Artist

* Faithless
* Fatboy Slim
* Goldfrapp
* John Digweed
* Prodigy

Best Urban Artist

* Estelle
* Goldie Lookin' Chain
* Jamelia
* Lemar
* The Streets

Best Artist Download

* Anastacia – 'Left Outside Alone'
* Coldplay – '2000 Miles'
* George Michael - 'Amazing'
* Keane – 'Everybody’s Changing'
* Mario Winans – 'I Don’t Want To Know'
* Maroon 5 – 'This Love'
* OutKast – 'Hey Ya!'
* Scissor Sisters - 'Laura'
* The Rasmus – 'In the Shadows'
* The Streets – 'Dry Your Eyes'

Best Music Download Service

* iTunes
* KarmaDownload.com

Best Radio Station Online

* XFM

Best Interactive Music TV Programme

Best Web-Based Music Game

* Muse Space Fighter game
* McFly game
* Razorlight Olympics game
* Rooster - Randy Rooster game
* Shapeshifters Hall of Mirrors game

We're a little puzzled as to how Belle and Sebastian can be overlooked for the best web-based music game category; we're also more than a little curious as to in what way LaunchCast Radio has been nominated for best Radio Station Online - nothing to do with Yahoo Launch being one of the sponsors, is it?

And there's a people's choice music website of the year thingy. We obviously know you have better sites to vote for, but if you did want to vote for us it might at least be a bit amusing.
