CD covers from different genres contain different conventions, e.g. The cd cover for nickelback - dark horse, is dark and mostly black. This represents the rock genre. Also it shows a metal belt buckel, possibly to represent that this is a rock/metal peice of music.
The Lady Gaga genres are pop, electronic and dance.. The black and white cover is possibly a usual convention for these geres as beyonce also uses this convention on her cd "I am" . And also the backstreet boys album "Unbreakable" .
The Jason Mraz cd cover is conventional to other cd covers in the indie genre as it uses a plain background with an unusual picture as the cover. This is also used by ange & ris' album "not me" .
The coldplay cove "viva lavida" is an alternative rock genre. The cd cover is almost historical as it uses images of people in other centuries. This is not conventional to this genre but it is different and very few of the cd covers in the alternative rock genre are similar.
