(CNN)--Although the nominees for the music industry's Grammy Awards were not scheduled to be announced until 8:40 a.m. EST Tuesday, Web surfers got a sneak peek at what appeared to be the official list of nominees.

Overnight Monday, The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences' home page featured a story headlined "NARAS announces nominees for 39th Annual Grammy Awards." According to that article, producer, songwriter and recording artist Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds tied the record for nominations in one year with 12. Those nominations include Record, Album and Song of the Year.

The news release about the nominations was taken off the NARAS site early Tuesday morning.

According to the release, the following artists were also nominated in the following categories:
