CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: U2 could walk on and walk away with a handful of Grammys. We're counting down to Wednesday's big award ceremony. The Irish band is up for a slew of big awards, including record, album and song of the year.

The music industry is getting ready to shine for Wednesday night's Grammys. Topping the list of nominees are -- in addition to U2 -- India.Arie and Alicia Keys.

COSTELLO: Music watchers think the trophies will be divided among many, many winners. We'll just have to see about that.
