Of course, not all the Brit nominees are on the cutting edge. One of the few Brit bands to achieve international success - including a Billboard Top 5 album - is Coldplay, who are bookmakers' favorites for Best British Group and Best Album with A Rush of Blood to the Head. But they're selling radio-friendly ballads...
