The winner of this year's Nationwide Mercury Prize will be announced later today during a ceremony at London's Grosvenor House Hotel.

Burial's Untrue, the mysterious Londoner's 2007 dubstep collection, is currently the bookie's favourite to take home the coveted award.

Dance-pop extremists, Klaxons, won the gong last year for their debut album Myths Of The Near Future.

Here's a reminder of the 2008 nominees:

Adele - 19
British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
Burial - Untrue
Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid
Estelle - Shine
The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement
Laura Marling - Alas I Cannot Swim
Neon Neon - Stainless Style
Portico Quartet - Knee-Deep In The North Sea
Robert Plant And Alison Krauss – Raising Sand
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Rachel Unthank And The Winterset – The Bairns

So, who do you think will be this year's winner?

Stay tuned to MOJO for tonight's result...

  • I really hope Robert Plant and Alison Krauss win it for Raising Sand. It was something special that far exceeded anyones expectations...and it sold too! It's a timeless album.
