New Year's Rockin' Eve just got a bit more rockin'. OneRepublic, Carly Rae Jepsen and Flo Rida -- among others -- have been added to the iconic show's roster this year.
Nominations for the American Music Awards were announced today, and British singer Adele leads the pack with four nominations, including Artist of the Year and Favorite Female Artist.
Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne and country group The Band Perry were right behind Adele with three nods apiece. Perry will perform on the show, as will Pitbull.
