Today the nominess for the coveted Mercury Prize will be announced. Whoever goes on to win will receive a week or two of intense media speculation - the rest is up to them.
For some acts, winning a Mercury provides the boost their debut album needed to hit the big time.

Here's what happened next, good and bad, to some of the most interesting winners of The Mercury Prize.
